Abstract

Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures（OVCFs） are common orthopedic conditions that can lead to spinal pain and deformity，which greatly affects the quality of life of patients. Currently，there are various treatment methods for OVCFs，but there is still a lack of standards for optimal treatment modalities. Therefore，this article introduces the current treatment methods and characteristics of epidemiology for OVCFs，in order to improve the awareness of this disease among clinicians and provide a reference for selecting more appropriate treatment regimens. Conservative treatment measures，such as bracing and analgesia，are the basic treatment measures for OVCFs，and anti-osteoporosis drugs play a crucial role in management. Minimally invasive procedures，including percutaneous vertebroplasty and percutaneous balloon kyphoplasty，remain the primary surgical interventions，and traditional open surgeries are also an important part of treatment，such as anterior spinal fusion，combined anterior and posterior spinal fusion，posterior spinal fusion with three-column osteotomy，and posterior spinal fusion with vertebroplasty. Furthermore，surgeons should focus on the accumulation of related surgical techniques and skills during surgery to effectively address the challenges and complications associated with surgical interventions. Finally，scientific and appropriate treatment methods should be selected for patients，in order to improve long-term treatment outcomes and increase the degree of satisfaction among patients.
