Worldwide, vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) continue to be the most common major fragility fracture, affecting patients over the age of 50, and osteoporosis is the most prevalent condition associated with VCFs. Patient Treatment and Management Following an Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fracture provides treatment and management guidance of the osteoporosis disease process in patients who have had a VCF. This book opens with a foundation of osteoporosis and VCF and then reviews clinical and radiological assessment approaches, evaluation, treatment, and ongoing management options. Subsequent chapters cover the efficacy of the different vertebral augmentation types on patient outcomes, optimization methods, decisions for osteoporosis treatment in these patients, and recommendations to improve patient outcomes. Special attention is paid to the treatment sequence and objectives following an osteoporotic VCF. This book concludes with coverage of insightful developments in clinical management and current research and features targeted case studies representing common patient characteristics that showcase varying aspects of different VCFs and the underlying osteoporosis that gives rise to these fractures. This title serves as an invaluable resource for any practitioner managing fragility fractures in older patients as well as treating their underlying osteoporosis.

. Summarizes the latest research on osteoporosis, the scope of the disease process, and how to treat it
. Provides guidance on the treatment of VCFs and follow-up strategies for patients suffering from this common fragility fracture
. Discusses treatment approaches and management techniques for VCFs aimed to minimize the occurrence of additional fractures
