A spinal fracture is a serious medical condition that requires prompt evaluation to prevent long-term complications, including nerve damage and spinal deformity. Whether caused by trauma, osteoporosis, or tumors, early diagnosis and expert treatment are essential.
At Fakeeh University Hospital in Dubai, our Spine Center specializes in minimally invasive kyphoplasty, spinal stabilization, and advanced vertebral fracture management, helping patients achieve rapid pain relief and faster recovery, often without major open surgery.
If you are experiencing severe back pain after a fall or injury, immediate medical assessment is critical.
A spinal fracture, often referred to as a vertebral fracture, occurs when one or more bones in the spine break or collapse. This is not simply a “broken back” it affects the body’s central support system and may compromise spinal stability or nerve function.
Spinal fractures can range from mild compression fractures to severe instability requiring surgical correction.
Our surgeons categorize fractures by their cause to determine the most effective treatment path:
If you experience any of the following after a fall or sudden movement, seek an orthopedic evaluation immediately:
At FUH, we use high-definition imaging to create a 3D map of the fracture before recommending surgery.
Treatment for spinal fractures depends on several factors, including the type of fracture, severity of symptoms, and overall health of the patient.

Unlike a typical muscle strain, a spinal fracture causes localized, intense pain that often makes it impossible to stand straight. If you have osteoporosis or have had a recent fall, any sudden back pain should be treated as a potential fracture until cleared by an MRI or CT scan.
Yes. Kyphoplasty is specifically designed for elderly patients because it is performed through a tiny incision under local or light general anesthesia. It significantly reduces the risks associated with long-term bed rest, such as pneumonia or blood clots.
Most patients are encouraged to stand and walk within 24 hours (the same day or day after) of spinal fracture surgery to prevent blood clots and reduce stiffness, usually with assistance from a nurse or therapist. Early, short, and supported walks are key, with gradual increases in distance over the first 2-6 weeks.
