The frequency of osteoporotic vertebral fractures in the clinical routine is increasing due to the demographic change. They are the most frequent fractures associated with osteoporosis and affect an especially morbid and vulnerable group of patients. These fractures often occur after minor trauma or spontaneously. Pain is the predominant symptom, whereas mechanical stability is mostly sufficient, in comparison to vertebral fractures after high-energy trauma, and is not a predominant indication for surgery. These fractures can be described using the classification for fractures associated with osteoporosis and the corresponding treatment recommendations are guided by them. Besides the specific treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fractures, a holistic treatment of patients taking pre-existing comorbidities into consideration is decisive. A mobilization as quickly as possible and treatment of the underlying osteoporosis are important to prevent further fractures.
