Osteoporotic fractures of the spine are one of the most common types of fracture and in light of the increasing average age of the population pose a serious clinical problem. They occur in about 10% of women aged over 55, and the incidence increases to more than 40% after the age of 80. The mid thoracic spine is most commonly affected, as well as the transition from the thoracic to the lumbar spine. The consequences of such fractures are severe pain with deformities of the spine. Only about one third of fractures to the vertebrae result in clinical symptoms. Vertebral fractures often go undetected, but can also induce excruciating back pain as far as destructive pain.
