The pure muscle volumes of the multifidus, psoas major, and quadratus lumborum were lower in patients with multiple OVFs than in those with a single OVF. Furthermore, the inter-correlation among all the paraspinal muscles indicate that the muscle-bone crosstalk profoundly existed in vertebral fracture cascade. Therefore, special attention to paraspinal muscle quality is needed to prevent progression to multiple OVFs.
