Osteoporotic effect on bone repair in lumbar vertebral body defects in a rat model.

CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that bone mass formation was suppressed and the quality of repaired bone was poor in the healing process of vertebral body defect under osteoporotic conditions. These findings could be the key to understand the pathology of osteoporotic vertebral fracture and to develop its therapies.
