Abstract | BACKGROUND CONTEXT: The incidence of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis is approximately 50% in patients treated for >6 months, and in the long-term usage fracture risk is approximately 34%. The awareness of pediatric vertebral fractures due to glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis is increasing. Although most of these fractures are asymptomatic, a small number of children may have severe pain. PURPOSE: STUDY DESIGN: Case report. PATIENT SAMPLE: METHODS: RESULTS: No complication and pain was observed after the operation although L3 vertebral height could not restored. On the 8-year control, L3 vertebral height was almost totally restored with a compression index of 10% without any clinical problem. CONCLUSIONS:
