we suggest that immobilization hypercalcemia occurs frequently in both children and adolescents after a single limb fracture of one weight-bearing bone , exercises in bed fail to prevent immobilization hypercalcemia , serial measurements of the serum ionized calcium and the urinary calcium/creatinine ratio are critical measures in treating such patients , and though complete mobilization is curative , transient calcitonin therapy is highly effective in reversing the disorders in calcium metabolism .
