Experience in surgical treatment of 11 patients (1998-2008) with complicated compression fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine vertebral bodies on the background of osteoporosis has been presented. Mean age of patients was 58 years (from 37 to 74 years). The treatment consisted of the adequate decompression of spinal canal followed by correction and multilevel fixation of the spine with CDI system. Decision on the fixation extent was made with regard for the degree of bone mineral density and vertebral body injury. Follow up period made up 1-10 years. Long term treatment results were assessed clinically and roentgenologically. Correction of kyphosis was noted in all cases. In the late period slight loss of the achieved correction (within 12°) was observed but the patients did not complained of spinal pains. In patients operated on in early terms (up to 2 months) after neurologic complications development the more rapid regress of neurologic symptoms was noted. It was shown that differentiated approach to the choice of surgical technique enabled to achieve favorable results.

Various options for medical treatment of children with compression fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine include unloading of damaged segments by simultaneous or gradual reclination (e.g., functional traction and reclination of the spine); measures aimed at building and strengthening the muscular “corset” of the back; and the use of orthotic devices of various designs (e.g., fixating-discharging, fixating-correcting corsets, orthoses on a modular basis). Questions regarding the early and late use of orthotics in patients with compression fractures of the vertebral bodies are discussed. Literature analysis, considering different methods used in the treatment of these patients in terms of their effectiveness to restore the height and shape of the damaged spinal segment revealed the absence of a differentiated approach for choosing treatment and selection criteria for orthopedic management.
