Surgical treatment of 177 patients with monolocal fractures of thoracic and lumbar vertebral bodies was performed using transpedicular fixation (n=17), transpedicular fixation and osteoplasty (n=101), vertebroplasty (n=48) or kyphoplasty (n=ll). Restoration of support ability of the fractured osteoporotic vertebrae within ventral column by means of plasty particularly in combination with internal fixation allows achievement of better clinical outcomes, improvement of the quality of life in patients in the early and late periods after surgery.
