Abstract
Our purpose was to introduce a case on point of a menopausal woman who suffered a domestic fall with consecutive persistent back pain and reduced mobility, and delayed the presentation amid late COVID-19 pandemic. On admission, she was confirmed with osteoporosis according to DXA (lowest T-score of -5.5) and started zoledronate. She refused further orthopedic intervention and remained on non-invasive long term rehabilitation plan while surveillance of anti-osteoporotic medication was offered to her. Fragility vertebral fractures represent increasingly common issues that require prompt intervention to overall a better prognosis. Late presentation and a first diagnosis of 10 vertebral fractures is a part of real life medicine with consequences amid potential lack of compliance to medication and adherence to a rehabilitation plan with short term and long term effects. Transition to post-pandemic reality still represents a concurrent pitfall to delayed hospitalization.
