Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist, here to answer your query.

I have gone through your attachment.Vertebral compression fracture commonly results due to fall, and tendency to develop this kind of fracture is much more in osteoporotic patients. This fracture is not a chronic process.

Hope that helps.If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.
