改良式低溫成型全接觸性背架用於胸腰椎壓迫性骨折患者：病例報告

Abstract

Osteoporosis in post-menopausal woman is a common cause of vertebrae compression fracture, which causes pain, activity limitation, even prolonged bed rest and total dependenty activities for daily life. Treatment of osteoporosis induced fracture includes NSAIDs for pain relief, body jacket for support and supplements of vitamin D, calcium, calcitonin or hormone replacement therapy.This is a casereport of a female with osteoporosis related T11 and L2 compression fracture with a 60° kyphosis at the thoracic vertebrae region and 40° lordosis at the lumbar vertebrae region which makes the ordinary Taylor brace unsatisfactory to give this patient adequate support for ambulation. So, we use low temperature thermoplastic aquaplast to design a custom-made total contact body jacket with two vertical supportive rods at the lumbar region. As a result, pain relief and self ambulation can be achieved.
