Objective This article will analyze and summarize the clinical efficacy of combined traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment for elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Methods The experiment was conducted from January 2023 to December 2023, with a total of 80 elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures admitted during this period. Nursing staff explained the purpose of the experiment to the patients and guided them to choose their own treatment plan, which was the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment group (n=40 as the observation group) and the conventional Western medicine treatment group (n=40 as the control group). The data indicators involved in the experiment during different intervention periods were summarized and analyzed, and the changes in the results were compared. Results Compared with the control group, all indicators in the observation group were better than those in the control group, and statistical comparative analysis showed P values<0.05, indicating statistical value. Conclusion The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment is more beneficial for improving bone density, alkaline phosphatase, and serum osteocalcin levels in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures, and is worthy of clinical reference and guidance.
