Patient presents with complaints consistent with a T6 compression fracture.  Onset of mid-back pain is reported as [acute/subacute/chronic] and localized to the thoracic spine at the level of T6.  Pain quality is described as [sharp, dull, aching, burning, radiating] and exacerbated by [flexion, extension, rotation, coughing, sneezing, deep breathing].  Patient denies [or reports] any history of trauma, osteoporosis, malignancy, or prolonged steroid use.  Physical examination reveals [point tenderness, paraspinal muscle spasm, limited range of motion, neurological deficits if present - specify].  Imaging studies including [X-ray, CT scan, MRI] of the thoracic spine confirm a compression fracture at the T6 vertebral body.  The fracture is characterized as [mild, moderate, severe] with [wedge, biconcave, crush] deformity.  No evidence of retropulsion or spinal cord compromise is observed.  Assessment: T6 compression fracture.  Plan: Conservative management including pain control with [analgesics, NSAIDs, muscle relaxants], bracing for spinal stabilization, and physical therapy for strengthening and range of motion improvement.  Patient education provided on proper body mechanics and fall prevention strategies.  Follow-up scheduled in [timeframe] to monitor healing and functional recovery.  Differential diagnoses considered included:  osteoporotic fracture, traumatic fracture, pathologic fracture, and musculoskeletal strain.  ICD-10 code [S22.1XXA, S22.1XXD, S22.1XXS - specify based on laterality and episode of care].
