Prognostic Factors for Reduction of Activities of Daily Living Following Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures

Abstract

These results identified presence of middle column injury of the vertebral body and lack of regular exercise before fracture as prognostic factors for reduced ADL. With clarification and validation, these risk factors may provide crucial tools for determining subsequent OVF treatments. Patients showing these prognostic factors should be observed carefully and treated with more intensive treatment options.
