Osteoporotic vertebral endplate and cortex fractures: A pictorial review

This article aims to serve as a teaching material for radiologists/physicians or researchers to evaluate osteoporotic ECF. Emphasis is particularly dedicated to identifying ECF that may not be associated with apparent vertebral body collapse. We suggest a combined approach based on standardised radiologic evaluation by experts, and morphometry measurement is the most appropriate approach to detect and classify osteoporotic vertebral fractures.
