Abstract
Much scientific research has been devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of uncomplicated forms of spinal compression fractures in adults and children, but the problem remains relevant.The goal of treatment is to restore the shape of the injured vertebra and the functional qualities of the spine. The process of resorption, compaction, and remodeling of the spongy substance after trauma takes a long time, up to 3 months or more. It should also be kept in mind that, in addition to the spongy part of the vertebra, other structures are also subjected to traumatization. It should also be taken into account that as a result of fixation of a certain area of the spine during a compression fracture with the emergence of a wedge-shaped deformity (a block of several vertebrae), biomechanical conditions change, the compensatory load on other parts of the spine increases, and the possibility of extension of the spine, which is a unified kinematic system, decreases.
