Aim: The aim of this paper is to analyse the literature findings on osteoporotic vertebral fractures, provide reliable evidence on effective treatment strategies for osteoporotic vertebral fractures, and to describe a series of clinical cases. Description of the case series: Clinical case series analyses the data of 13 patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures to highlight the complexity, clinical features and treatment challenges of this condition. The study highlights the significant impact of osteoporotic vertebral fractures on patients' quality of life due to chronic pain, mobility limitations and frequent neurological symptoms. The synthesis of demographic, clinical and therapeutic data identifies common patterns and highlights the importance of early diagnosis and preventive strategies in reducing the risk of fractures. Conclusions: Osteoporotic vertebral fractures are a serious complication of osteoporosis, causing pain, spinal deformities and impaired quality of life. Accurate diagnosis, including clinical examination, imaging and laboratory tests, is essential for timely assessment of risk and the need for treatment. Conservative methods such as medication, physiotherapy and splints are effective in relieving pain, but minimally invasive procedures, especially kyphoplasty, are more effective in reducing pain and restoring vertebral height. Nevertheless, the long-term advantages of these techniques and the optimal patient selection criteria require further research. The increasing risk of recurrent fractures calls for the development of effective treatment protocols that contribute to reducing the impact of osteoporosis and improving patient health. |
