Localization of endplate fractures
| Superior Endplate (%) | Inferior Endplate (%) | Holovertebral (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prevalent fractures | 57 | 11 | 32 |
| Incident fractures | |||
| Nonadjacent | 69 | 25 | 6 |
| Adjacent above treated level | 84 | 12 | 4 |
| Adjacent below treated level | 30 | 57 | 13 |
Note:—Among prevalent fractures, superior endplate fractures predominate. Following vertebroplasty, however, in fractures immediately above the treated level (adjacent above), inferior endplate fractures predominate.42
