Efficacy of the dynamic radiographs for diagnosing acute osteoporotic vertebral fractures

Summary We investigated the efficacy of dynamic radiographs for diagnosing acute osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) compared with supine radiographs or sitting radiographs alone. Evaluation of the dynamic radiographs was superior to the other evaluations. Dynamic radiographs provide a convenien...

Zusammenfassung:Summary We investigated the efficacy of dynamic radiographs for diagnosing acute osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) compared with supine radiographs or sitting radiographs alone. Evaluation of the dynamic radiographs was superior to the other evaluations. Dynamic radiographs provide a convenient and useful method of diagnosing acute OVFs. Introduction Identifying acute OVFs on plain radiographs is difficult. We studied a new approach to identify acute OVFs on the basis of fracture mobility. Methods We performed a retrospective radiographic analysis of 472 acute OVFs (
