Rishat Ibtisham*, Shaharul Islam and Maria Akter

ABSTRACT

Background: Compression fractures in the lumbar spine, known as VCFs, are frequently seen in individuals with osteoporosis and can be worsened by incidents such as road accidents. One surgical method utilized to stabilize these fractures is pedicle screw internal fixation, which offers pain relief and helps to restore proper spinal alignment. The L1 vertebra is particularly susceptible to fractures due to its location and the mechanical stress it endures. Patients with VCFs may find relief and stabilization through pedicle screw internal fixation, which can swiftly alleviate discomfort. This case study Article examines the experience of a female patient who suffered an L1 vertebral fracture as a result of a vertebral compression fracture and assesses pertinent literature to serve as a resource for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Keywords: Vertebral compression fracture, L1 vertebra fracture, pedicle screw fixation, internal fixation, spinal stabilization, case report and literature review.
