bisphosphonates, calcitoninAbstract
Vertebral body compression fractures due to osteoporosis is the most common fracture in patients with osteoporosis.1
It affects significantly the quality of life (QoL) and is associated with
pain interfering with activities of daily living. The management of osteoporotic vertebral body
fracture could be surgical or non-surgical. Medical treatment is focused on better mineralization of bone to stop osteoporosis or to improve the quality of bone. Any underlying metabolic
abnormalities and provision of supplemental calcium/vitamin D in conjunction with bisphosphonates or calcitonin, or both. Routine hormone replacement therapy has fallen out of favor
because of concerns regarding adverse effects identified in long-term follow-up studies. In
many cases, the vertebral body fracture is significant and requires surgical intervention. This
can be achieved by sagittal alignment correction and vertebral body height restoration utilizing
pedicle screw instrumentation or by using cement augmentation. This article will focus on cement augmentation options.
