Vertebral Fractures
Vertebral compression fracture
Vertebral Compression Fractures (VCFs) are cracks in the vertebral body that often occur due to osteoporosis and low bone density in old patients. However, they can also be caused by trauma, tumor or other bone diseases.
Burst fractures
Burst fractures are a type of traumatic spinal injury in which a vertebra breaks due to a high-energy axial load. This happens for example in traffic collisions, falls from a great height and some types of seizures. Moreover, a burst fracture can lead to shards of vertebra penetrating surrounding tissues and sometimes the spinal canal.
