The high incidence of fractures by fragility and, especially of the vertebral fractures in osteoporotic postmenopausal women, forces us to approach this subject once more. In this manuscript epidemiological data that indicates the magnitude of the problem will be updated. Treatment alternatives to decrease back pain produced by vertebral fracture are will be reviewed, and the prevention of the occurrence of new osteoporotic fractures of any type, through the administration of suitable antiresorptive and bone-forming pharmacological agents to increase bone mineral density will also be addressed. In some patients with painful vertebral compression fractures it is possible obtain an analgesic effect by percutaneous vertebroplasty or by kiphoplasty using polymethylmetacrilate cement or calcium- phosphate cement, injected into vertebral bodies.

Acute pain service was consulted for acute pain management in a 40-year-old male who had sustained multiple bilateral rib fractures following a fall injury. In addition to the rib fractures, the patient had also experienced injuries to his lungs and spinal column, both of which required surgeries. Considering the significant nature of pain due to his rib fractures, a multimodal pain management approach that included both pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies was utilized.

Background: Degenerative lumbar diseases (DLDs) often have significant impacts on patients' quality of life, particularly when cage retropulsion (CR) occurs following lumbar interbody fusion (LIF). In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis to assess the risk factors associated with CR after LIF.
Methods: We retrieved literatures analyzing the risk factors associated with CR following LIF from seven databases.

Bone health after lung transplantation has not been comprehensively reviewed in over two decades. This narrative review summarizes available literature on bone health in the context of lung transplantation, including epidemiology, presentation and post-operative management. Osteoporosis is reported in approximately 30-50% of lung transplant candidates, largely due to disease-related impact on bone and lifestyle, and corticosteroid-related effects during end-stage lung disease (interstitial lung diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and historically cystic fibrosis).
