Case Presentation - Compression Fractures 76 year old female falls and has sudden and
severe back pain in the thoraco-lumbar region. There is no weakness or numbness or tingling. The pain level is 7. She stays in bed for 3 days and the pain remains
severe. She is placed on vicodin and it helps some, but she is still incapacitated. Her PE shows no weakness or abnormal findings
other than tenderness at the lower thoracic spine X-ray shows a compression fracture at L2 MRI
with and without contrast shows only the fracture and no uptake around the fracture

Diagnosis of Osteoporosis
1. Dexa Scan: gold standard for testing
2. Fragility Fracture (low impact)is more predictive of future fracturethan bone density

Risk factors for VCFs
National Osteoporosis Foundation predicts 1 in 3 women over age 50 will suffer a VCF as a result of osteoporosis
Lifetime risk of symptomatic vertebral fracture for women is 16%; for men, 5%

Traditional therapy for VCFs
Preventative: Hormone replacement therapy Biphosphonates Calcitonin
Symptomatic relief: Analgesics – temporary, side effects Bed rest – risk of deep venous thrombosis Immobilization/bracing Surgery (rare)
Limited success of traditional therapies Many patients report intractable pain without narcotics Inability to return to normal activities

Effect of PMMA on VCFs
Main benefit of vertebroplasty: immediate pain relief While the precise mechanism of pain relief has not been
proven it is believed to be achieved by: Immobilization of the fracture Relieving stress on the remaining bone by providing
increased tensile strength and stiffness Destruction of nerve endings by causing necrosis through: Heat – exothermic reaction of monomer and polymer in
the cement Direct toxic effect

Indications for Vertebroplasty
Painful osteoporotic fractures less than one year old
Pain refractory to traditional medical therapy No long-term relief with analgesics (and/or side effects to dosage
includes excessive drowsiness, confusion or constipation) Pain negatively impacting mobility and ADLs Worsens with weight bearing Relieved with rest or when recumbent
Painful fracture related to benign or malignant tumor (metastatic disease, hemangiomas)
Patient with multiple compression fractures for whom further collapse would result in compromised pulmonary or GI function

Contraindications
Absolute- Coagulopathy, infection, refusal Unstable Fx involving posterior element Lack of definable level of vertebral collapse

Possible utilization of vertebro-augmentation
Acute pain due to compression fracture Less than 12 weeks Fractures heal significantly within 6-8 weeks
Severe Immobilizing pain Inpatient setting Elderly: Prone to deconditioning syndrome
Ruled out other pain etiologies: Facet pain: May trial MBBs first
Radicular or discogenic pain ESIs, water therapy, spine decompression therapies

Take Home
Compression fractures are common in osteoporotic patients
VCF can be debilitating in the elderly population Vertebro-augmentation can be an option if patient fails
conservative management Get MRI with STIR Sooner and more severe the pain the better potential
response Associated symptoms like facet pain can also be
