Compression fractures are small breaks or cracks in the vertebrae (the bones that make up your spinal column). The breaks happen in the vertebral body, which is the thick, rounded part on the front of each vertebra. Fractures in the bone cause the spine to weaken and collapse.
The most common type of compression fracture is a wedge fracture, in which the front of the vertebral body collapses but the back does not, meaning that the bone assumes a wedge shape. Sometimes, more than one vertebra fractures, a condition called multiple compression fractures.

Pathological fracture of cervical vertebra due to neoplasm
Vertebra (back bone) fracture due to osteoporosis
whether this is a pathological or a traumatic fracture), then this would code to category M48.5 - Compression fracture of vertebra NOS, so I would use M48.56XA for the lumbar site.
I don't believe Medicare is covering the M48.5- code for Kyphoplasty anymore. You could use a M80.08X- or M80.88X- or the corresponding level code S32.0xxA code
