Popis: Abstract In this letter to the editor, we discuss the article by Bigdon et al., published recently in the Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, about their accurate single-centre cohort study of 8000 vertebral fractures in 4772 patients. As the complication rate of this cohort is low, it seems that severe trauma patients needing damage control resuscitation/procedures may have undergone damage control in the first treating hospital before being transferred to the trauma centre. It will be interesting to see how both activity and health trends within the ageing population will change osteoporotic occurrence of fractures and enable more conservative trends versus operative stabilization to continue an active life even in the seventh or eighth decade.
