“…Finally, Di Martino A. et al concluded that PEMFs associated with multimodal management represent the gold standard in the treatment of vertebral compression fractures. This combined treatment improves patients' quality of life, promotes healing, and reduces the risks of undergoing surgery [33].…”

Background: Biophysical stimulation therapy, Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMFs) and Capacitively Coupled Electric Fields (CCEFs) have significantly increased in the last twenty years. Due to this, it is necessary to have clear information regarding their efficacy, therapeutic indications and expected objectives. Application fields: There is a unanimous opinion regarding the usefulness of applying biophysical therapy on the bone compartment both in terms of the tissue-healing process and the symptoms associated with this situation. Differently, but no less important, positive results were observed in the joint compartment, especially with regard to the inhibition of the inflammatory process. Good results for chondroprotection were obtained in vitro and after a surgical procedure. New studies have shown the effectiveness also in cases of osteoporosis. Conclusions: The effectiveness of PEMFs and CCEFs on the bone-healing process and on joint preservation in the orthopedic and traumatology fields has consolidated evidence in the literature. We have also found positive results for symptoms and patient compliance with rehabilitation therapies. Therefore, their notable applications can be envisaged in the fields of prosthetic surgery and sports medicine.

Aims: To explore the distribution of site‐specific volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and analyze the mechanism of vertebral compression fractures with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) subjects using quantitative computed tomography (QCT).Materials and Methods: 304 postmenopausal women without T2DM and 274 postmenopausal women with T2DM underwent QCT scan, and all divided into three age subgroups. L1 vertebra was segmented into nine zones based on the corresponding position to the human body.Results: Whether in the T2DM or non‐T2DM of each age group, from the ventral to the dorsal side of L1 vertebra, the posterior third zones were the highest, and from the head to the foot of L1 vertebra, the middle third zones were the highest (p < 0.05). Global and most zonal vBMDs of T2DM were higher than those of non‐T2DM in the age group of 50–59 years old, vBMD‐mp of T2DM was higher in the age group of 60‐59 years old, and vBMD‐mm of T2DM was higher in the age group of 70–80 years old (p < 0.05). Zonal vBMDs in T2DM were higher than non‐T2DM and the difference decreases with age especially in the upper third of L1 vertebra and the lower third of L1 vertebra.Conclusions: Vertebral compression fractures and the confusion between T2DM and vBMD may be all caused by the heterogeneous distribution of vBMDs. The higher risk of T2DM with vertebral compression fractures may be associated with the different loss rate of global and site‐specific vBMD, independent of vBMD itself.
