Abstract
Spinal fractures without significant trauma are commonly observed in daily practice. There are various descriptive terms, such as pathological fracture, vertebral compression fracture (VCF) and insufficiency fracture. Fundamentally speaking the problem arises from the inability of the bone, due to various causes to support physiological load. It is important to be able to rapidly identify the underlying causes of fractures and thus appropriately treat them. We provide an overview of the two key categories to differentiate between and a scheme to determine likely causes. Background biomechanical principles are discussed and treatment pathways reviewed.
期刊介绍：
Orthopaedics and Trauma presents a unique collection of International review articles summarizing the current state of knowledge and research in orthopaedics. Each issue focuses on a specific topic, discussed in depth in a mini-symposium; other articles cover the areas of basic science, medicine, children/adults, trauma, imaging and historical review. There is also an annotation, self-assessment questions and a second opinion section. In this way the entire postgraduate syllabus will be covered in a 4-year cycle.
