• A female, aged 76 years came to our hospital complainnig of sudden pain in the low back for three days. X-ray photograms showed neither fracture nor metastatic tumor. But as pain increased day by day, X-ray photograms were taken again one week after the initial time revealing a vertical fracture of the fourth lumbar vertebra.According to the experiment done by Roaf (1960) on the basic spinal unit taken from cadaver, vertical fracture occurs only when the intervertebral disc has its normal turgor.She had gemeral osteoporosis due to aging and to renal insufficiency. This is considered to play an important role in the occurrence of this type of fracture because her discs cannot anticipated to be normal.
