Compression Fractures


The bones or vertebrae of the spinal column can sometimes fracture owing to trauma or a disease condition that causes the bone to break. Compression fractures can cause a collapse of the vertebrae. On a side-view X-ray, a compression fracture usually looks like a wedge-shaped vertebra.

Causes of compression fractures
There are three main causes for compression fractures:

Osteoporosis, which weakens the bone and then allows normal stress to cause it to collapse.
An injury, particularly a fall or other “vertical trauma.”
Tumors.
