Radiological fracture recognition (1):
Review of chest radiographs on 934 women aged >60 years, admitted to hospital
On review 132 had 1 or more spinal fractures
Of these: 65 (49%) were reported23 (17%) were noted in the
medical record25 (19%) were treatedGehlbach SH et al. Osteoporosis Int 2000;11:577 - 582

www.osteoporosis.ca
Radiological fracture recognition (2):
In a Canadian study of emergency room radiography the following were the chief findings in relation to the thoracic spine:
• Mean age of the population was 75 years, • 47% were women, and 46% were admitted to the
hospital. • According to the reference radiologist, prevalence of
moderate to severe vertebral fractures was 22%. • Simple agreement was about 88% among reviewers;
kappa values were moderate (0.56-0.58). • Only 55% (12/22) of the vertebral fractures identified
were mentioned in the radiology reports.Kim N, Rowe BH, Raymond G, Jen H, Colman I, Jackson SA et al.Underreporting of vertebral fractures on routine chest radiography. Am J Roentgenol. 2004;182:297 - 300.

Role of CT & MRI
CT = Clarify radiographic findings
MRI = Useful for recognizing fracture acuity and
incidental disease (e.g. tumours)

Vertebral body fractures as a special case:
Vertebral fractures may occur incrementally and not catastrophically
Mechanism of injury: axial cf. transverse loading (crush)
Vertebral fractures may be associated with a vaccuum phenomenon
Vertebral fractures may only be evident under load-bearing
The definition of vertebral fractures is subject to debate (and varies by practitioner and country)

Vertebral deformities:
All fractures cause deformities
Not all deformities are due to fracturing

Genant Grading: Vertebral fracture assessment
using a semiquantitative technique

www.osteoporosis.ca
Problematical aspects of the Genant paradigm:
• It proposes a quantitative classification• It makes unrealistic distinctions between fracture types • Morphometry cf. radiological “signs” of fracture• Both projected area (“volume”) and vertical dimensions are
invoked• The reference dimensions are subject to variation and
interpretation• The “grades” overlap
– Grade 1: 20 – 25%– Grade 2: 25 – 40%– Grade 3: > 40%
• The classification has suffered mutation or “creep”
