Spinal Fracture Osteoporosis and traumas such as falls, sports injuries, or car accidents are common causes of A spinal fracture Most spinal fractures do not require surgery, but you may be required to wear a brace for several months. Severe spinal fractures, on the other hand, will require surgical repair. Types of Spinal Fracture Fractures occur when more pressure is applied to a bone than it can withstand. A vertebral body compression fracture is the most common type of spine fracture. The body of the vertebrae is shattered and collapses as a result of a sudden downward force. A burst fracture occurs when bone fragments enter the spinal canal as a result of a strong enough force.
