摘要

Osteoporosis-related vertebral fractures are among the most frequent fracture entities in geriatric patients. They are associated with far-reaching individual and socioeconomic consequences. Adequate diagnostics and treatment are therefore essential. The osteoporotic fracture (OF) score is a central element in determining the right treatment. Although the majority of fractures can be healed with conservative treatment, a change of treatment should be considered in good time in cases of failure. Isolated cement augmentation procedures are particularly suitable for reducing pain in primarily stable osteoporotic vertebral fractures with a preserved framework structure (OF types 1–3) and a largely intact posterior edge. Dorsal cement-augmented stabilization with cementing of the fractured vertebral body leads to good results in unstable OF types 3 and 4 fractures. Dorsoventral procedures with cement-augmented internal fixator from the dorsal side and vertebral body replacement from the ventral side play a more subordinate role. Purely ventral procedures should be avoided in this patient group.
