Management of hospitalised osteoporotic vertebral fractures

Archives of Osteoporosis, 2020
Management of hospitalised osteoporotic vertebral fracture patients was explored across all major trauma orthopaedic hospitals in Ireland. Findings, based on a survey of orthopaedic doctors and physiotherapists, indicate a lack of standardised clinical care pathways.

Multidisciplinary management of osteoporotic vertebral fractures

Minerva Endocrinology, 2022
Vertebral fractures represent the most frequent complication associated with osteoporosis. Patients harboring a vertebral fracture complain physical impairment including low back pain and spine balance alteration, i.e., kyphosis, leading to subsequent systemic complication, with an increase in morbidity and mortality risk.

Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures

European Journal of Trauma, 2005
Due to a demographic increase in patients with osteoporosis the epidemiology of vertebral fractures changes. Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone density, microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue and impaired bone strength, which leads to an increased bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture.

The Pathophysiology of Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures

Rehabilitation Nursing, 1997
Osteoporosis is an increasingly prevalent chronic metabolic bone disease, characterized by low bone mass that subsequently leads to bone fractures. Vertebral fractures are the most common and the most debilitating of osteoporotic fractures. People with osteoporotic vertebral fractures present a unique challenge to rehabilitation nurses.

Vertebral augmentation in osteoporotic and osteolytic fractures

Current Opinion in Supportive & Palliative Care, 2009
To discuss recent advances in percutaneous minimally invasive vertebral augmentation techniques used in the treatment of osteolytic and osteoporotic compression fractures.Recent data have shown that outcomes in patients with vertebral compression fractures treated with vertebral augmentation techniques have been encouraging.

The Radiology of Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures Redux

Journal of Clinical Densitometry, 2016
When a low-energy fracture occurs, then osteoporosis has progressed to the point of bony structural failure. Because vertebral fractures are the commonest type of osteoporotic fracture, the correct identification of them becomes important for diagnosis, risk estimation, and management. However, there are no uniformly agreed criteria for their diagnosis.

Management of osteoporotic vertebral fracture pain

Pain Management Nursing, 2000
Osteoporosis is an increasingly prevalent, chronic metabolic bone disease that can cause fractures of the distal radius, hip, and spine. Spinal fractures are the most common, and often the most debilitating, of osteoporotic fractures. Early recognition of these painful fractures can help to ease the burden. A variety of modalities can be used to manage

Vertebral Augmentation for Osteoporotic Compression Fractures

Journal of Clinical Densitometry, 2016
Vertebral augmentation procedures such as vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty were developed to reduce pain and improve quality of life for patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. However, the use of vertebral augmentation has been debated and questioned since its inception. This article addresses some of these issues.

Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty in Vertebral Osteoporotic Fractures

Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology, 2016
Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are minimally invasive treatments and indispensable tools in the treatment of osteoporotic compression fractures. This method of treatment is performed using fluoroscopy or a scanner control an access via the pedicle or the posterolateral angle of the vertebral body.
