Abstract: Thoracolumbar osteoporotic vertebral fractures often occur in elderly patients. Possible treatment options include conservative therapy with orthoses and minimally invasive therapies like balloon kyphoplasty. Studies show advantages in pain reduction post-kyphoplasty. In contrast, activating orthoses seem to have a longer-term positive effect on muscles and thus the sagittal plane of the spine.
