Therapeutic Effects of Conservative Treatment with 2-Week Bed Rest for Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures

Abstract

UpdateThis article was updated on October 19, 2022, because of previous errors, which were discovered after the preliminary version of the article was posted online. On page 1787, in the legend for Figure 2, the sentence that had read “The vertebral collapse rate (in %) was defined as 1 − (A/P) × 100, and vertebral instability (in %) was defined as the difference in vertebral collapse rate between the loaded and non-loaded images.” now reads “The vertebral collapse rate (in %) was defined as (1 − [A/P]) × 100, and vertebral instability (in %) was defined as the difference in vertebral collapse rate between the loaded and non-loaded images.” On page 1788, in the section entitled “Data Collection,” the sentence that had read “The vertebral collapse rate (in %) was defined as 1 − (anterior vertebral wall height/posterior vertebral wall height) × 100, and vertebral instability (in %) was defined as the difference in vertebral collapse rate between the loaded and non-loaded images9.” now reads “The vertebral collapse rate (in %) was defined as (1 − [anterior vertebral wall height/posterior vertebral wall height]) × 100, and vertebral instability (in %) was defined as the difference in vertebral collapse rate between the loaded and non-loaded images9.” Finally, on page 1791, in Table IV, the footnote for the “Primary outcome” row that had read “N = 113 in the rest group and 99 in the no-rest group.” now reads “N = 116 in the rest group and 108 in the no-rest group.”

Risk of Revision After Vertebral Augmentation for Osteoporotic Vertebral Fracture: A Narrative Review

“…4 Therefore, physical therapy under spinal orthosis is recommended after short immobilization period, although a recent prospective cohort study. 9 demonstrated that better compression ratio of vertebral body and lower surgical rate were obtained following 2 weeks of bed rest for patients with risk factors of poor prognosis. Physical therapy is effective to improve osteoporosis and pre-…”

“…Basically, immobilization owing to bed rest can be harmful because of the deterioration in bone loss, progressive muscle weakness, thromboembolic disease, joint contracture, and skin ulcer in elderly population [ 4 ]. Therefore, physical therapy under spinal orthosis is recommended after short immobilization period, although a recent prospective cohort study [ 9 ]. demonstrated that better compression ratio of vertebral body and lower surgical rate were obtained following 2 weeks of bed rest for patients with risk factors of poor prognosis.…”
