Lecture: Osteoporotic Spine Fractures
This spine surgery lecture looks at the management of osteoporotic spine fractures. The interventions discussed range from cement augmentation to major instrumented fixation with cemented screws. This spine surgery lecture begins with a look at the epidemiology, pathogenesis and risk factors of osteoporotic spine fractures. The lecture then moves on to discuss the different treatment options including pharmaceutical and surgical treatment strategies. The possible complications and how they might be prevented are covered in detail, and the lecture concludes with the outcomes of treatment strategies and a suggested treatment algorithm for patient selection.
