Abstract
As the population continues to age and the number of people living past the age of 65 continues to increase, osteoporotic compression fractures will continue to be a significant concern to the medical provider. Osteoporosis and osteopenia are major public health concerns in the United States and are estimated to effect 54 million Americans. In the United States, a woman older than 50 has a 40% chance of developing an osteoporotic compression fracture in her lifetime. Radiographic studies show that 8–13% of women in their 60s and 30–40% of women in their 70s are found to have evidence of vertebral compression fractures on plain radiographs in epidemiological studies.
