Overview

Surgical management is employed for fractures caused by osteoporosis. Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are used to treat patients with vertebral compression fractures. For fractures of the hip, the surgical method used is called open reduction and internal fixation, or ORIF.

Surgical therapy

  • Operative interventions include anterior and posterior decompression and stabilization by internal fixation using screws, rods and plates. Failure rate is high because of lack of strength in the osteoporotic bone for stabilization.
  • Vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty[1] are indicated in patients with incapacitating vertebral compression fractures and persistent back pain. In these procedures the surgeon injects bone cement [2] through a needle into the crushed spinal bones (vertebrae)
  • Hip fractures are treated by open reduction and internal fixation.
