Abstract
The developed diagnostic algorithm at pathological vertebral fractures is presented. 32 women in the age of from 46 up to 81 years with pathological vertebral fractures participated in this study. During observation at four patients vertebral metastatic tumors were revealed, hemangiomas - in three cases and solitary myelomas - in two patients. At the others 23 patients fractures were considered as osteoporotic. The use of the presented diagnostic algorithm at pathological vertebral fractures allows to reduce the number of diagnostic errors, opportunely to diagnose and to select the method of treatment. The important stage of observation of patients with pathological vertebral fractures is percutaneous biopsy allowing to verify process in most cases.
