The Impact of Geometrical Spinal Shape on Fresh Vertebral Fractures in Elderly Volunteers: A Longitudinal Cohort Analysis

Conclusion. Original geometrical spinal shape affected the occurrence of VF, and post-fracture spinal shape depended on the positional relationship between the inflexion vertebra and fractured vertebra. Our study helps to understand the influence of geometrical spinal shape on the risks of VF. Level of Evidence: 3
