Summary
This study looks back at medical records of 146 adults with stable spine fractures caused by falls or accidents. It compares three treatments: wearing a brace, a minimally invasive bone cement procedure, or spinal fusion surgery. The goal is to see which option leads to the best pain relief, recovery, and return to work.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged 18 years or older with a traumatic AO Type A1 vertebral fracture confirmed by clinical records and imaging studies. Patients must have been treated with one of the following management strategies: orthopedic bracing, percutaneous vertebroplasty, or spinal arthrodesis. Complete clinical records must be available for review, including the mechanism of injury, level of the fracture, treatment performed, and follow-up information. Patients younger than 18 years; patients with non-traumatic or osteoporotic vertebral fractures; vertebral fractures not classified as AO Spine Type A1; cases with incomplete medical records; or patients whose fractures were treated for indications other than trauma. Patients with missing essential follow-up data will also be excluded.
