Worldwide, vertebral compression fractures (VCF) 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 vertebral compression fracture. The book opens with a foundation of osteoporosis and VCF 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, potential complications, and decisions for osteoporosis treatment in these patients. Special attention is paid to the treatment sequence and objectives following an osteoporotic VCF. The book concludes with coverage of insightful developments in clinical management and research and features targeted case studies representing common patient characteristics and showcasing varying aspects of the VCF and underlying osteoporosis. This title serves as an invaluable resource for any practitioner treating patients with osteoporosis as well as those managing fragility fractures in older patients.
