The main event of osteoporosis is fragility fractures. Vertebral compression fractures are the most commonly fragility fracture related to osteoporosis.
Our goal is to review the available literature to confirm or deny concepts learned about spinal cementation and adapt our clinical practice according to scientific evidence.
In the complex world of spine surgery, constant innovations seek to improve the quality of life of patients. Among these, vertebral augmentation has emerged as an increasingly popular technique, but often shrouded in myths and misunderstandings. In this systematic review, we will thoroughly explore the truths behind vertebral augmentation, unraveling common myths and providing a clear insight into this technique. As specialists in the field, it is crucial to understand the reality surrounding these interventions to offer our patients the best possible information and make informed decisions.

Vertebral compression fractures by osteoporosis (OVF) is usually a diagnostic problem and coincides on the age group of metastatic vertebral compression fractures (MVF). Although radiography is the first diagnostic technique, generally is not accurate for depicting demineralization and soft tissue lesions. Magnetic resonance (MRI) is the diagnostic choice. The most relevant signs are intravertebral fluid collection or fluid signal, other vertebral deformities without oedema and older age. Among the most relevant findings for diagnosis MVF are soft tissue mass and pedicle intensity signal asymmetries. However, reproducibility of these findings in clinical practice is moderate.

Osteoporosis weakens the structural strength of bone to such an extent that normal daily activity may exceed the capacity of the vertebra to bear this load. Vertebral fracture and deformity is a hallmark of osteoporosis. The detriment of trabecular bone properties alone cannot explain the occurrence of osteoporotic vertebral fracture. The ability of the spine to bear and resist loads depends on the structural capacity of the vertebrae, but also on loading conditions arising from activities of daily living or low-energy trauma. This review describes the mechanical properties of the vertebral bone, the structural load-bearing capacity of the various elements forming the spine, the neuromuscular control of the trunk, as well as the biomechanics of the loads to which the spine is subjected in relation to the presence of osteoporosis and the risk of vertebral fracture. A better understanding of biomechanical factors may help to explain both the high incidence of osteoporotic vertebral fractures and their mechanism of production. Consideration of these issues may be important in the development of prevention and management strategies.

Osteoporosis represents a public health problem that can be prevented and treated early through health education. Over time, screening techniques, diagnosis and treatments even conservative and surgical, have improved.
Through this publication we want to highlight the importance of the medical and orthopaedic management of these fractures, describing the benefit of diet and physical exercise as the protagonists of conservative treatment but above all its indications and contraindications, emphasising the limitations of exercise in a vertebral osteoporotic fracture. The different orthoses prescriptions are also highlighted.

Low socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with a higher risk of fragility fractures, as well as higher mortality in the first-year post-fracture. The SES variables that have the greatest impact are educational level, income level, and cohabitation status. Significant disparities exist among racial and ethnic minorities in access to osteoporosis screening and treatment.
In Spain, a higher risk of fractures has been described in people with a low-income level, residence in rural areas during childhood and low educational level. The civil war cohort effect is a significant risk factor for hip fracture. There is significant geographic variability in hip fracture care, although the possible impact of socioeconomic factors has not been analyzed. It would be desirable to act on socioeconomic inequalities to improve the prevention and treatment of osteoporotic fractures.

Osteoporosis and fragility play a significant role in the treatment and planning of patients with deformity secondary to osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF). The resulting deformity can present significant challenges for its management, both from a medical and surgical perspective. The need for a specific classification for these deformities, including the potential for the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning in predictive analysis, is emerging as a key point in the coming years. Relevant aspects in preoperative optimisation and management of these patients are addressed. A classification with therapeutic guidance for the management of spinal deformity secondary to OVF is developed, emphasising the importance of personalised treatment. Flexibility and sagittal balance are considered key aspects. On the other hand, we recommend, especially with these fragile patients, management with minimally invasive techniques to promote rapid recovery and reduce the number of complications.

Osteoporosis is a metabolic and systemic disease characterized by alterations at the level of bone tissue with loss of bone mineral density, changes in microarchitecture, mineralization and remodeling that determine greater bone fragility and risk of fracture.
Falls in the elderly are a risk factor closely related to fragility fractures and numerous studies demonstrate this relationship.
Vertebral fractures are a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The epidemiology differs from osteoporotic fractures at other skeletal sites, as only one-third are clinically recognized. In the elderly, the approach to osteoporotic vertebral fracture involves comprehensive evaluation of the patient, since it is both a cause and a consequence of multiple geriatric syndromes. This fracture, in its acute phase and subsequently, can lead to destabilization of other organs and systems of the elderly, medical complications at different levels, functional deterioration, dependence, and even the need for institutionalization.
Therefore, it is important to carry out a multiple assessment of patients with vertebral fractures, addressing not only the history and risk factors of osteoporosis, but also those factors that lead to falls, as well as a comprehensive geriatric assessment and the complications closely associated with it.
In this chapter we address each of these aspects that are necessary in the individual and multidimensional approach to the elderly patient with vertebral fracture due to bone fragility.

Osteoporosis, and the consequences derived from it, such as fragility fractures, constitute a growing public health problem. Suffering from a fracture of this nature is the main risk factor for suffering a new fracture.
It is documented that vertebral compression fractures lead to significant morbidity and mortality, in the short and long term, as well as other complications, such as sagittal imbalance and hyperkyphosis of the segment. However, we have not found documentation that analyzes the medium and long-term consequences of these injuries, assessing the type of treatment used, and the economic impact they represent.
The purpose of this review is to analyze the main recent literature on the subject and make a breakdown of the consequences of these fractures in various spheres, such as economic, quality of life, sagittal balance and radiographic parameters, pain or mortality; as well as a brief analysis of epidemiology and natural history.
Conclusion
Osteoporotic fractures constitute an emerging problem, both in the medical and economic fields. The consequences and sequelae on the patient are multiple and although surgical options offer good long-term results, it is necessary to properly select the patient, through multidisciplinary teams, to try to minimize potential complications.
