    PurposeAdequate conservative management of osteoporotic vertebral fractures remains important in an aging population.MethodsWe performed a research of multiple databases and present important studies in this narrative review.ResultsThe pertinent literature remains scarce and of mixed quality. However, trends are shown to support early mobilization, less rigid bracing and pharmaceutical secondary prevention.ConclusionThere is insufficient data to recommend the optimal conservative management for osteoporotic vertebral fractures. As such high-quality studies need to be conducted to establish a solid course of action.
