Spinal fractures more commonly occur due to road traffic accidents, gunshots, sports injuries, osteoporosis, spine tumors, etc. A vertebral compression fracture is the most common spine fracture. Symptoms include muscle spasms, back pain, neck pain, weakness, paralysis, bowel and bladder weakness, numbness, and tingling sensation. The available treatment procedures include the immobilization of the spine with braces and orthotics, surgery to fuse the fractured spine with plates and screws, vertebroplasty, and kyphoplasty.
