Surgical treatment of spinal fracture in a patient with idiopathic osteoporosis

Abstract

Surgical treatment was performed in a patient with second lumbar (LII) vertebra body fracture suffering from idiopathic osteoporosis. The height of the vertebra body involved was restored, and vertebral-and-medullary conflict was eliminated using metal structures. Drug therapy (Myocalcic, calcium preparations and vitamin D3) was continued.
