Compression fracture, also called vertebral compression fracture, refers to a collapse fracture of the spine caused by osteoporosis. 70% of people over the age of 70 have osteoporosis. A compression fracture, or wedge fracture, is a type of fracture that is not easily noticeable in older adults. Shortening of height and hunchback are generally symptoms of spinal compression fractures. Compression fractures often cause compression of the chest cavity, affecting the function of the heart, lungs and other organs.

The impact of lumbar compression fracture is not as serious as that of the thoracic spine. If economic adjustment allows, try to do it. Now the surgery is less invasive, less painful and faster recovery.

Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) refers to the percutaneous injection of bone cement into the vertebral body through the vertebral pedicle or the outside of the vertebral pedicle to increase the strength and stability of the vertebral body, prevent collapse, and relieve pain. . Its main indications are: simple fresh compression fractures of the thoracolumbar spine without spinal cord and nerve root damage; old spinal compression fractures caused by severe kyphotic deformity accompanied by fractures.
