Non-surgical management of acute osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture: A review.
Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics and Trauma 2017 April
Osteoporosis is a major public health problem. Last decade has seen rise in osteoporotic vertebral fractures. Pragmatic management of osteoporotic VCF is challenging to the surgeons. In clinical settings, the situation becomes more complex when it comes to managing painful osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) due to various co-morbid factors that may limit aggressive interventions. Patients with Osteoporotic vertebral fractures are often characterized by general/relative immobility and physical frailty. Osteoporotic VCF not only affects the quality of life (e.g. pain) but also decreases the lifespan of the individual. The present review critically evaluates the currently prevailing non-surgical management modalities (conservative) offered in acute symptomatic osteoporotic VCFs that occur either within (0-5 days) of any incident event or present with the onset of symptoms such as pain.
