Stock Photo - Representation of the modification of the silhouette linked to osteoporosis vertebral compression. On the left, silhouette of a young woman straight stature. In the middle, 60_year_old woman affected by medium osteoporosis. She loses a few centimeters and vaults. On the right, 70_year_old woman affected by severe osteoporosis. The vertebral compression is very much pronounced with a tip over of the pelvis forward. We observe a dorsal kyphosis, commonly called ´witch´s hump´. The vertebral compression is due to fractures of various vertebrae generally dorsal and lombar, fragilised by osteoporosis. See images 1926407 and 1926807 for the evolution of the vertebral compression, 1926507 and 1926907 for the young woman, 1926607 and 1927007 for medium osteoporosis, 1926707 and 1927107 for severe osteoporosis.
