The prognosis for vertebral fracture is discussed in this study. The patients were divided into two groups: early treatment group and late treatment group. It was found that early treatment prevents kyphotic deformity and low back pain. It was difficult to asses prognosis only by fracture type. We found clear correlation between the number of NTx and onset of multiple vertebral compression fracture. Patients complaining of back pain despite being under appropriate recumbency indicated aggravation of kyphotic deformity. Steroids adversely enhanced the deformity of compressed vertebral compression fracture. Moreover kyphotic deformity and incomplete fusion appeared when T1 weighted MRI showed clear low band.
