Medical Conditions - Osteoporotic Compression Fractures

Osteoporotic fractures, also known as fragility fractures or low-trauma fractures, result from a fall from less than a standing height and do not involve significant trauma, such as a car accident. The most prevalent type of osteoporotic fracture is a vertebral compression fracture.
