Abstract
In Japan, more than 90% of elderly patients hospitalized with spine fractures received conservative treatment. Surgical treatment, either open surgery or vertebroplasty, was performed at 30% of the hospitals. This study provides basic data that will contribute to planning improvements in spinal fracture treatment in the elderly.
