“…The most common etiology of VCFs is osteoporosis, although trauma, 12 infection, and neoplasm can also lead to VCFs. 13,14 Postmenopausal women have the greatest risk because of hormonal changes that can lead to osteoporotic bone.…”

“…Compression fractures are usually caused by osteoporosis, severe trauma, infection, and neoplasm1,10,16,19). They often lead to back pain and spine deformities such as kyphosis, kyphoscoliosis and loss of vertebral height, which cause deteriorations in the management of daily life activities and in quality of life1,4,7,11,12,18).…”

ObjectiveAs a conservative treatment of compression fractures, absolute bed rest (ABR) for a certain period has been recommended, but no guideline on the period has yet been established. Considering that a long ABR period may adversely affect patients, the difference in prognosis according to the ABR period was investigated in this study.MethodsA prospective study was conducted who were diagnosed with compression fracture. Groups A and B were put on ABR (one week for group A and two weeks for group B). X-ray images at baseline, 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks were obtained from both groups, for assessment purposes.ResultsThe compression rates of both groups were no significant difference at baseline, 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks. The conditions of 25.9% and 21.2% of the subjects deteriorated in groups A and B, showing no significant difference. Between the groups of age and bone mineral densities (BMD), no significant difference was observed in the incidence of deterioration. In terms of complications development including constipation and other Gastrointestinal problems, voiding difficulty, etc., group A reported 57.4%, and group B, 84.8%, showing a significant difference (p-value=0.001).ConclusionNo significant difference in the conservative period was observed between the groups. Group B, however, reported a higher complications development rate than group A. Therefore, a short ABR period may be helpful in the early stage of conservative treatment.

“…This is supported by literature that thoracolumbar injury occur between 20 to 40 years age group men as they are more common involved in outdoor activities. 9,10 In most part of India, fall from tree, electric pole or into unprotected well is the commonest mode of injury. Our series also reflects this general trend as majority of the cases were due to fall from height (60%).…”

Thoracic and Lumbar Fractures Associated With Skiing and Snowboarding Injuries According to the AO Comprehensive Classification

Abstract: Thoracic and lumbar fractures caused by skiing and snowboarding are mainly stable injuries, composed of either compression fractures, mostly simple compression injuries, or isolated transverse and spinous process fractures. Neurological injury was not seen in this study.
