We identify 5 etiological factors of vertebral compression fractures, which individually are probabilistic and together lead to a fracture: impact force action on the vertebral body, suddenness of force action, position of the spine bending at the moment of force action, orientation of force action along the spinal axis, and exceeding the individual strength limit of the vertebra.
