Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
An osteoporotic vertebral fracture is the breaking or collapse of a bone in the spine that occurs when it has become fragile due to osteoporosis. It can happen even with minimal effort, such as bending over or lifting a light object.
Common symptoms: back pain that appears suddenly, loss of height over time, or progressive curving of the back.
Common causes: it is related to the loss of bone density, common with age and more frequent after menopause.
Which specialist treats it? The neurosurgeon is one of the professionals who assesses these spinal injuries and guides their management depending on each case. With intense, sudden back pain, especially if there is a risk of fragile bones, a timely medical evaluation is advisable to study its origin.
