What is a Spinal Compression Fracture?

Osteoporotic fractures are serious consequences of osteoporosis. Because of reduced bone mass, decreased bone strength, and increased bone fragility, fragile fractures can be caused by minor injuries in daily activities. Most of these fractures are complete fractures. The disease is more common in older, postmenopausal women. Spinal osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures are the most common fractures. In addition, the bone healing process after fracture is slowed down, the surgical treatment is difficult, the clinical efficacy is reduced, and the risk of recurrence of fracture is high. The patient's quality of life is significantly affected, and has a higher disability and mortality rate.
