Fig. 3From: Comparison of acute single versus multiple osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures in radiographic characteristic and bone fragilityDegree of vertebral compression in single and multiple osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. The ratio of anterior and posterior height of fractured thoracic, thoracolumbar, and lumbar vertebra. Thoracolumbar vertebra in MSVF-2 and MSVF-3/m showed significantly higher ratio of anterior and posterior vertebral height than in SSVF. SSVF: single segment vertebral fracture; MSVF-2: multi-segment vertebral fractures involving two vertebra; MSVF-3/m: multi-segment vertebral fractures involving three or more vertebra. ns: not significantly different; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01Back to article page
