Clinical and radiological features of osteoporotic spine fracture with delayed neurological compromises
World Neurosurgery Sep 23, 2018
Park HY, et al. - Researchers assessed osteoporotic spine fractures (OSFs) with delayed neurological compromises (NC) for their radiological and clinical features. They analyzed 30 patients who presented with delayed NC (group I), matched 1-to-1 with 30 patients without delayed NC (group II) by age, bone mineral density, body mass index, and medical treatment for osteoporosis. Outcomes reveal that most of the OSFs are treated successfully with conservative measures, however, in certain conditions, complicated OSFs can develop. Independent risk factors of delayed NC following OSFs included initial height loss and fractures of the mid-portion type. Delayed NC also seemed to be related with pre-existing stenotic lesions, such as ossification of the yellow ligament and stenosis.
