Abstract
We investigated a vertebral fracture resulting from surgical treatment for osteoporotic vertebral fracture. Twenty-seven patients who sustained osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fracture were treated surgically. We used the spinal instrumentation system in all cases. Of these cases, a new vertebral fracture occurred adjacently in 10 vertebrae of 6 patients. Six fractures occured outside of the fused area and 4 occured within the fused area. All cases were treated conservatively. We concluded that it is essential to take saggital alignment before injury into consideration when determining the fusion area.
