Osteoporotic compression fracture

Discussion:

The patient with confirmed osteoporosis (DEXA) with already listed symptoms.

There are mild to moderate fracture of the L2 vertebrae and mild fracture of L3 vertebrae with dominant height loss in the middle dimension.

Taking into consideration patients age this is probably the case of combined postmenopausal and senile osteoporosis.

The patient is advised to consult orthopedist, although in this case, medications, some kind of orthosis and regular follow-up examinations are expected measures.
