Pathological fractures of the spine are a significant source of morbidity and a major public health concern. Insufficiency fractures due to osteoporosis and mechanical instability with or without neurological compression due to malignancy can dramatically reduce a person's quality of life. This paper summarises current "best evidence". Medical management is not discussed.
