Osteoporotic spinal compression fractures
Резюме
Определение
Most osteoporotic spinal compression fractures represent an isolated failure of the anterior spinal column due to a combination of flexion and axial compression loading. The stability of the spine is not compromised with this type of fracture. These fractures are traditionally considered benign injuries that heal without complications.[1] Rarely, osteoporotic compression fractures can also involve the middle and/or posterior spinal columns, in addition to the anterior column. This type of fracture is potentially unstable and requires surgical intervention.[Figure caption and citation for the preceding image starts]: Lateral radiograph showing a T12 compression fracture in osteoporotic bonePersonal collection of Nasir A.
