title: [Diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic vertebral collapses].
abstract: Vertebral fracture is a typical and frequent complication of trabecular osteoporosis. It is responsible for pain and disability. Diagnosis is supported by X-rays and some pitfalls must be known and avoided. Physical treatment is important in order to prevent recurrence. Among different treatments available in osteoporosis, ostrogenotherapy must be discussed, even after fractures have occurred.
