Caused by traumatic injury, osteoporosis and bone-weakening diseases, fractures may or may not include injury to the spinal column. After assessment, diagnosis, and stabilization, surgery can be performed to repair spinal vertabrae, relieve pressure on the spinal cord, and restore movement. Surgical screws, rods and small bone-repairing cages may be used to stabilize the spine.
