Osteoporosis and the Spine

Osteoporosis is characterised by reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and microarchitectural deterioration, leading to increased fracture risk. Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) cause sudden severe back pain and height loss.

Treatment involves both medical optimisation (bisphosphonates, denosumab, anabolic agents) and, where appropriate, minimally invasive vertebral augmentation procedures.

Key Facts
  • Affects 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men over 50 worldwide
  • Vertebral compression fractures are the most common osteoporotic fracture
  • DXA scan T-score ≤ −2.5 defines osteoporosis
  • Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty restore vertebral height and relieve pain rapidly
Treatment Options

Comprehensive Bone & Fracture Management

01

Medical Management

Calcium, vitamin D, bisphosphonates, or anabolic agents (teriparatide, romosozumab) optimise bone density and reduce re-fracture risk.

02

Pain Management & Bracing

Analgesics, short-term bed rest, and spinal orthosis manage acute VCFs conservatively in appropriate patients.

03

Vertebroplasty

Percutaneous injection of bone cement into the fractured vertebra — rapid pain relief with minimal invasiveness.

04

Balloon Kyphoplasty

Balloon inflation restores vertebral height before cement injection — reducing kyphotic deformity and pain more effectively than vertebroplasty alone.
