Central European Sample Analysis of Traumatic Vertebral Fractures: A One-Year Retrospective Cohort Study

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to examine the sex-specific distribution of traumatic spinal fractures and potential predictive clinical factors for a more well-founded treatment evaluation. METHODS: < 0.05. RESULTS: = 0.049). No statistically significant difference in the HU values in the vertebra above the fracture was found between men and women. Women showed significantly larger one-year postoperative intervertebral angles than men. CONCLUSION: Vertebrae with lower HU values tend to collapse despite stable surgical treatment; therefore, additional bone quality assessment should be contemplated. These findings highlight sex-specific considerations for future clinical decision-making.
