Study Population

This study was a retrospective case series of 694 patients, in which the fracture was caused due to primary or secondary osteoporosis, and who were treated at the department of trauma surgery at our level-I trauma center.

You may qualify if:

• patients older than 50 years of age with vertebral fractures at the thoracic or lumbar spine caused by a low-energy trauma or without any trauma, or with vertebral fractures at the thoracic or lumbar spine with typical osteoporotic deformity of the vertebrae (wedge, fish, or flat)

You may not qualify if:

• patients younger than 50 years of age
• vertebral fractures at the cervical spine
• vertebral fractures at the thoracic or lumbar spine caused by a high-energy trauma (motor-vehicle accident, sports-related accident, fall from a considerable height)
• patients suffering from a malignancy, making a pathological fracture presumably, patients with vertebral fractures, whose dataset of follow-up monitoring was lacking, to make an evaluation of osteoporotic involvement impossible
