INTRODUCTION
The most common fractures of the spine are associated with the thoracolumbar
junction. Ninety percent of all spine fractures are related to the thoracolumbar region.
Especially, the majority of thoracolumbar injuries occur at the T11 to L2 level, which is
the biomechanically weak for stress.2
1
classification system is used, it is important to understand the complete nature of the
injury in order to devise an appropriate treatment plan.4
The leading causes of cervical and thoracolumbar spine injuries are motor vehicle
accidents, falls, and diving accidents. Anyone with a history of trauma who is intoxicated
or unconscious should be evaluated for spine injury. Thoracolumbar fractures can result
from minor trauma coupled with osteoporosis, which weakens the structural integrity of
individual vertebrae.4
2
The aim of rehabilitation are to reduce the pain, avoid reccurence, and also improving
the quality of life.7,8 Also restore functional range of motion to the (trunk) spine in all
planes without creating neurologic deficits. Restore strength of the paraspinal muscles,
latissimus dorsi, trapezius, and quadratus lumborum. The muscles of the lower
extremities may atrophy with bed rest or neurologic injury and require strengthening.
Functional Goals are Allow for pain-free sitting, standing, and walking, and develop
spinal flexibility for functional independence.4
In this case report, the writer will explain a case of a woman who suffer low back
pain which suggest to vertebral compression fracture due to trauma. The unique of this
case report are she has osteoporosis and also got into vehicle accident. The functional
status of the patient is taken by using Oswestry disability index. The Oswestry Disability
Index (ODI) is one of the principal condition-specific outcome measures used in the
management of spinal disorder.9

CHAPTER III
DISCUSSION
In this case report, we discuss about a woman, 56 years old, as a priest who got low
back pain since 11 days ago right after vehicle accident. The pain is sharp pain which
localized at low back ( middle side ) that was improved by lying in a supine position and
exacerbated by any attempt to change body position. She is menopause since 8 years
ago.
On physical examination, she exhibited local tenderness to palpation and percussion,
skin folding test positive on thoracolumbal region which mean there was a pathologic
process at vertebrae or there was an irritative muscles underneath the skin, but no
neurological deficit nor any signs of radiculopathy. She rated the pain as 8/10 on a visual
analogue scale.
Osteoporotic fractures (fragility fractures, low-trauma fractures) are those occurring
from a fall from a standing height or less, without major trauma. Vertebral compression
fractures are the most common type of osteoporotic fracture.10 They often occur at the
midthoracic (T7-T8) spine and the thoracolumbar junction (L1-L1). 11
In patients who have acute symptomatic vertebral body fracture, there is often no
history of preceding trauma. The typical patient presents with acute back pain after
sudden bending, coughing, or lifting. Occasionally, minor trauma, such as going over
speed bumps, may precipitate a fracture.12 The pain is usually well localized to the
midline spine but often refers in a unilateral or bilateral pattern into the flank, anterior
abdomen, or the posterior superior iliac spine. By contrast, radiation of pain into the legs,
as may be seen with a herniated disc, is rare with compression fractures but may herald
spinal cord or nerve root compression from retropulsed bone fragments.11
The pain from a vertebral compression fracture is variable in quality and may be
sharp or dull. Sitting, spine extension, Valsalva maneuver, and movement often
aggravate the pain and may be accompanied by muscle spasms. Sleep may be disturbed
by pain. On physical examination, the patient may experience pain upon palpation and
percussion of the corresponding spinous process and paravertebral structures.11
From anamnesis we found out that she is menopause since 8 years ago, the
majority of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis have bone loss related to estrogen
deficiency and/or age. She felt the pain right after the vehicle accident. The patient also
show the sign and symptoms that indicate a compression fracture. So we can diagnose
her with compression fracture ec trauma due to vehicle accident and she also has an
20
osteoporotic bone. The visual analog scale of pain was 8 on this patient which refer to
severe pain. Moreover, the ODI score which explain about the functional status was 80%
that refer to crippled. The form of ODI is presented on the appendix.
On radiology examination we found out that there is compression fracture of
lumbar 1 and osteoporotic vertebral. Fergusons Angle: 450 . From thoracolumbar x-ray,
we can see that this fracture is only affecting one of two of the three columns scheme
(Denis classification) and there is no severe compression (>50 percent of vertebral
height), significant fracture kyphosis (>30 degrees), a rotational component to the injury,
nor compression fractures at multiple levels. So we can assume that there is no spinal
instability.
According to the three column scheme, stability is based upon the integrity of two of
the three spinal columns. Spinal instability may be inferred when plain radiographs
demonstrate a loss of 50 percent of vertebral height or excessive kyphotic angulation
around the fracture. The angle is determined by the intersection of two lines, one
measured along the superior endplate of the vertebral body one level above the fracture
and the other along the inferior endplate of the vertebral body one level below.
Compression fractures with greater than 30 degrees and burst fractures with greater than
25 degrees angulation are generally considered unstable. The presence of a neurologic
deficit also indicates spinal instability, since the spinal column has failed to protect the
spinal cord.1
21
posterior ligamentous injury (supraspinous, interspinous ligaments, facet joint capsule,
and ligamentum flavum) may be present. This is due to failure of the posterior column in
tension so there is potential for instability.4
In this case report, we are emphazising on rehabilitation therapy. Physical
medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R), also referred to as physiatry, is a medical specialty
concerned with diagnosis, evaluation, and management of persons of all ages with
physical and/or cognitive impairment and disability.7,8,13
A physiatrist will work together with the other subunit such as physiotherapy,
occupational therapy, orthotic-prosthetic, psychology, and medical social worker to
achieve the best treatment for the patient.
Physiatrist found that the patient had several problems such as pain on
thoracolumbal region (VAS 8), anxiety due to low back pain, and limitations on activity
of daily living. On the acute phase we concerned more on the programs for
physiotherapy and orthotic prosthetic to decrease the pain. The program that physiatrist
gave directly to the patient were bed rest for two days, medication (mefenamic acid as an
analgesic and cavit D3 which is a supplement to prevent osteoporosis), an education
about the patients problems at this time, proper back mechanism and creating programs
for the other subunit. Proper back mechanism is very important to give an education on
how the patient should do with her lower back in many daily activities such as sitting,
sleeping, lifting an object, and cooking.
In physiotherapist program, Adjunct treatment and modalities such as TENS
might be helpful. The physiatrist prescribed cold compress and transcutaneus electrical
nerve stimulation (TENS). Cold compress can be done at rehabilitation department or as
a home program at home. The purpose of this therapy among others to control pain and
edema association with inflammation, vasoconstriction and increase blood viscosity. The
treatment time is 5-15 minutes, because longer application has been associated with
vasodilation and increase circulation. TENS is a form of electrical current that is useful
to reduce pain by gate control mechanism or by releasing endorphin. In gate control
mechanism, TENS will stimulate nerve fiber A-Beta which block pain transmission from
nerve fiber A-Delta and C. This mechanism can be conducted when TENS was set to
100150 pulse per minute with 5080 s duration. When the TENS set on 210 pulse
per minute with 200300 s duration, the endorphin will be released.7,8,14 Placement of
electrodes varies with the TENS mode used and can include positioning of a pair of
electrodes.15
22
In orthotic and prosthetic unit, the physiatrist presicribed a thoracolumbosacral
orthosis. The thoracolumbrosacral orthosis is made of plastic and velcro. This orthosis
restricts motion in the thoracolumbar spine (lower back), increases intra-abdominal
pressure to support the spine, and helps induce good posture while allowing back
muscles to relax producing a decrease in pain. It is indicated for a patient with lumbar
pain, spondylolisthesis, excessive lordosis, spondylosis, spinal stenosis, degenerative
disc disease, lumbal strain, compression fracture, herniated nucleus pulposus, and
immobilization following lumbar surgery.9,15-18 Stable injuries can be treated with a soft
corset for symptomatic relief. Most compression fractures are amenable to nonoperative
management. Bracing is used until the patient's pain subsides at approximately 4 to 6
weeks. Occasionally, longer periods of brace immobilization are required in patients with
more severe injuries or with osteoporotic bone. 4,19
On January 18th 2018, physiatrist made an evaluation to the patient. The low back
pain had reduced from VAS 8 become 5. Pain decrease, the patient has been able to sit
and stand more than 30 minutes. The patient was able to walk long distance and long
time, more than 100 meters.
In this occasion, physiatrist gave an education for the patient about her current
condition, remind her again about proper back mechanism, education about caution of
osteoporosis and start to doing exercise. We suggest the patient to do the isometric back
exercise. Strenuous spinal flexion and spinal flexion exercises should be avoided in
patients with osteoporosis.7,8,20 Education about osteoporosis are important because
osteoporosis is one of factors that can cause compression fracture, beside of traumatic.
For physiotherapy, the program remained the same as before but the cold compress was
stopped.

back pain and disorders of the lumbar spine. In Braddom RL, editor: Physical medicine
and rehabilitation, Philadelphia, 1996, WB Saunders, used with permission.)
Psychology subunit has an important role for this patient. The patient had anxiety
due to his lower back pain. Psychologist could do 2 things for this patient: mental
support and cognitive behavioral therapy. Mental support here was designed to support
the patient in dealing with the condition she had. Hopefully, by this effort the anxiety of
patient would reduce and make this patient focus on her treatment. Cognitive behavior
therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapeutic treatment that helps patients understand the
thoughts and feelings that influence behaviors. Most patients have negative statement
inside their mind about their disease. They may not be able to stop physical pain from
happening, but with practice they can control how their mind manages the pain. An
example is changing a negative thought, such as I cant do anything anymore, to a
more positive thought, such as I dealt with this before and I can do it again.13
25
For medical social worker, the potential problems of this patient were about the
motivation to go to therapy and about the communication between patient and the place
where she works daily. The programs that could be given here were giving motivation to
the patient to control in medical rehabilitation center regularly and facilitation between
the patient and her works place about her illness especially when the patient returns to
work. We expect that by having good communication, between the patient and the
environment that around her.
The patient little anxious with his condition. However, physiatrist had try to meet
him and asked to go to psychologist to give mental support. Additionally, physiatrist also
asked the patient to continued the cognitive-behavioral therapy. The challenges here
were on medical social. For medical social worker, the problem was the patient looks
little depression because he can not back to his activity due to his pain. In this case,
medical social worker try to support the patient and provide solutions about other work
which may be doing by him.
On the follow up in February 14th 2017, the patient had more improvement. The
pain was decreasing (VAS 3) and the ODI score is minimal disability. Patient able to
walk and doing most of her activity daily living. Patient can walk more longer (1,5
kilometers) than before without pain.

Scoring the questionnaire
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Score: patient score / total possible score x 100 = %
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scoring:
7.For each section, the total possible score is 5
8.If the first statement is marked, the section score = 0
9.If the last statement is marked, it = 5.
If all ten sections are completed the score is calculated as followed:
Example: 16 (total scored by patient)
50 (total possible score)
16/50 x 100 = 32%
10. If one section is missed or not applicable, the score is calculated as followed:
Example: 16 (total scored)
45 (total possible score)
16/45 x 100 = 35.5%
ODI Scoring:
0% to 20% (minimal disability): Patients can cope with most activities of daily living.
No treatment may be indicated except for suggestions on lifting, posture, physical fitness
and diet. Patients with sedentary occupations (ex. secretaries) may experience more
problems than others.
21%-40% (moderate disability): Patients may experience more pain and problems with
sitting, lifting and standing. Travel and social life are more difficult. Patients may be off
work. Personal care, sleeping and sexual activity may not be grossly affected.
Conservative treatment may be sufficient.
41%-60% (severe disability): Pain is a primary problem for these patients, but they may
also be experiencing significant problems in travel, personal care, social life, sexual
activity and sleep. A detailed evaluation is appropriate.
61%-80% (crippled): Back pain has an impact on all aspects of daily living and work.
Active treatment is required.
81%-100%: These patients may be bed bound or exaggerating their symptoms. Careful
evaluation is recommended.
