Osteoporosis-related fractures of the spine require comprehensive care. They are a common clinical picture, especially in patients with spontaneous back pain in old age, a targeted investigation should be carried out to rule out an osteoporosis fracture. These fractures are also often associated with metabolic disorders, prolonged immobility or diseases such as Parkinson's disease.

Symptoms of spinal fractures in osteoporosis
- Patients with osteoporosis-related spinal fractures may experience back pain, reduced mobility and a reduced quality of life. In the rarest cases, neurological deficits occur. The fractures can often be triggered spontaneously, as a result of minor trauma or by light activities.
Diagnosis and examinations
- For a precise diagnosis, we rely on specialised examinations such as bone density measurements and imaging procedures such as X-rays or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). These enable us to classify the fracture and initiate individualised treatment.
Therapy options
- Our therapeutic approach includes not only drug treatments, physical therapy and nutritional counselling to improve bone density, but also minimally invasive surgical methods. Procedures such as vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty offer rapid pain relief and improve quality of life through minimally invasive stabilisation of fractures.
