Vertebral compression fractures are the most common type of fracture affecting the spine. They cause the main section of each vertebra, called a vertebral body, to collapse in height. Compression fractures are often the result of osteoporosis, a type of bone thinning disease that most often affects older women, particularly those who are past menopause.
