Summary

This study tests a new, less invasive surgery called SAIF against standard spinal fixation for people with unstable spine fractures caused by osteoporosis. The goal is to see if SAIF can restore spine function and reduce pain just as well, but with fewer risks for elderly patients. About 140 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures, and their quality of life will be tracked over time.
