At The Physicians Spine & Rehabilitation Specialists, our team of skilled physicians will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that meets your specific needs.
Compression fractures of the spine can be caused by trauma, such as a car accident or fall, or by decreased bone density due to age-related conditions such as osteoporosis. The vertebrae become weakened, leading to the potential collapse of the bones and resulting in a compression fracture.
Surgery may be necessary for compression fractures if the fracture is severe, or if it fails to heal properly after non-surgical treatment options. Surgery can include vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty, which are minimally invasive procedures that involve injecting cement into the fractured area. Surgery can also involve fusion, which involves inserting screws and rods and connecting bones together to help keep them in place.
