    Vertebral compression fractures are related to the vertebral collapse and is a result of either a trauma or a predisposing condition like osteoporosis, osteogenesis imperfecta, benign or metastatic tumours, etc. Underlying infections might also result in this disorder. The first stage of treatment of vertebral compression fractures involves non-invasive therapies like pharmacological treatment, use of braces, physical therapy, etc. However, if symptoms continue to persist and the disorder assumes a chronic form, the minimally invasive therapies involving kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty might need to be used to bring relief to patients from the painful symptoms of vertebral compression fractures.
