Brace is one of the most commonly used interventions to manage osteoporotic vertebral fracture. However, its authentic effectiveness remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of brace in patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures. We conducted a literature review and meta-analysis following the guideline and handbook of the Cochrane collaboration. Ten published articles were included in this study and data from 4 randomized controlled trials were analyzed. Low quality evidence proved using Spinomed brace could bring large and significant beneficial effect to patients with sub-acute osteoporotic vertebral fractures. Very low quality evidence proved no significant difference between Spinomed orthosis, rigid brace and soft brace when they were used in patients with acute fractures. Therefore, it might be applicable to recommend middle term use of Spinomed orthosis to patients with subacute fracture. In addition, this study emphasized the need for high quality randomized controlled trials.

“…Being a female, age 76, with back pain secondary to osteoporotic vertebral fractures of the T11 and T12 vertebrae, our patient met all of the study inclusion criteria of: "female, age 55 or above, clinical diagnosis of OVF with radiographs, back pain secondary to OVF, and affected vertebra between T1 and L5". 5 When comparing SpinoMed® and soft lumbar orthosis, statistically significant improvements were observed for all three groups (hard brace, soft brace, and no brace) between pretreatment and post-treatment for pain. However, investigators were unable to prove a statistically significant difference between the groups.…”

Globally, osteoporosis is considered a widespread metabolic bone disease, vertebral fractures being probably one of the most common clinical manifestations encountered in osteoporotic patients. Non-pharmacologic therapies of osteoporosis include, among others, the use of different types of orthoses, such as spinal orthoses or hip protectors. To date there is a limited number of studies that evaluate the efficacy of spinal orthoses and hip protectors used in osteoporotic patients, therefore providing insufficient information to clinicians regarding these aspects. This article reviewed the use and efficacy of the most commonly prescribed spinal orthoses and hip protectors in osteoporotic patients. According to a significant number of studies, modern spinal orthoses proved to be effective in the management of vertebral fractures in osteoporotic patients. However, the efficacy of hip protectors in reducing the impact of falls onto the hip and preventing hip fractures still seems to be controversial. Osteoporosis is a condition that should be treated using a comprehensive approach that includes both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment options. Orthoses, such as modern spinal orthoses or back braces and hip protectors might represent an efficacious nonpharmacological option in the management of osteoporotic vertebral or hip fractures.
