Diagnosis was based on clinical examination and various imaging techniques. In the case of cancer biopsy was performed, and in specific and nonspecific infections of the spine treated surgically toward the microscopic examination of tuberculous granulation tissue or inflammatory. The diagnosis of osteoporotic fractures was based on the digital 3D CT. The studied group of 20 patients were divided according to color flag system.
RESULTS: Among the analyzed patients 14 received red flag, 5 yellow and 1 black. The red flag has received seven patients with spinal infection, 3 patients with cancer and two with osteoporotic fracture, and 2 patients with low back pain due to an aortic aneurysm.
