Summary
The fractures observed were classified according to the following scheme (see Figure 13):
- Stellate fracture of the endplate (stellate): two or more cracks running from the centre towards the periphery of the endplate;
- Step-like fracture of the endplate (step): a crack in the endplate with a distinctly visible step of l-4 mm height;
- Endplate depression (depression): endplate deformed into a bowl shape, the trabecular bone below the endplate fractured;
- Transverse fracture (transverse): transverse fracture through the whole vertebra, usually in its midplane;
- Edge fracture (ed ventral or dorsal): wedge-like fracture of the edge of the vertebral body;
