Treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fractures.
The problem of vertebral fractures is a frequent topic in scientific publications that deal with osteoporosis. After a series of reports regarding successful vertebro- and kyphoplasty in 2001-2002, more is now being said and written about the need to unify treatment protocols for these disorders. The present study gives the authors' own classification for the stages in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fractures, along with a detailed description of the actions to be taken during each phase of the treatment protocol.
