Surgical and Non-surgical Treatment for Compression Fractures
http://www.cpccodingbilling.com/2014/09/surgical-non-surgical-treatment-compression-fractures.html
Surgical and Non-surgical Treatment for Compression Fractures
Vertebral compression fractures are generally caused by trauma, weakening of vertebra or osteoporosis. Treatment for Compression fractures are done through Surgical and Non-surgical Techniques. Non-surgical procedure involves use of pain medication, which can relieve the acute or chronic pain due to collapsed fractured vertebra. Surgical procedure involves percutaneous treatment for compression fractures through Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty. Now, we will learn all these procedures one by one.
Non-surgical treatment of Compression fractures
Pain medications are very helpful for the treatment of compression fractures. Pain medication can relieve nerve, muscle or bone-to-bone pain. Antidepressant, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and Narcotic pain medication are few example of pain medication for treatment of compression fractures. Drugs, which help in increasing the density of bone or increasing the strength of bone, are also helpful in treating compression fracture. This is considering as critical part for the treatment of compression fracture. For acute pain, bed rest is best to keep the density of bone getting worse...

Spine Injury Fracture review by KBNI serving Houston, Katy, Sugarland, Woodlands, Memorial City, Kingwood

A spine injury fracture is typically a serious injury that occurs when the integrity of the vertebrae (bones of the spine) is compromised, either by physical trauma or by a medical condition like osteoporosis (low bone density). Physicians use three main classifications for spine injury fractures in order to document the pattern of injury: 1) flexion fracture pattern (when one side of the vertebra loses height, usually from a fall from height), 2) extension fracture pattern (when the vertebra is pulled apart, such as in a car accident), and 3) rotation fracture pattern (severe rotation of the vertebra and surrounding soft tissues). A spinal injury fracture may also be further classified based on whether it ishas affected the integrity of the spinal cord...
