Endplate and intervertebral disc injuries in acute and single level osteoporotic vertebral fractures: is there any association with the process of bone healing?

The results of this study showed that endplate and IVD injuries were found in approximately 60% of single and acute OVFs. These results suggest that fracture healing of OVFs would be mainly attributed to vertebral factors, including mechanical stress and metabolic status, among the three components of the anterior spinal column.
