Abstract

This review highlights the role played by mechanical imbalances in the pathogenesis of fragility fractures of the femur and vertebrae. Particular attention is paid to vertebral fractures, and the consequences arising from mechanical imbalances are analyzed and evaluated to determine how much they contribute to worsening vertebral deformity and creating a domino effect
