Vertebral deformities and fractures are associated with MRI and pQCT measures obtained at the distal tibia and radius of postmenopausal women

Abstract: Summary We investigated the association of postmenopausal vertebral deformities and fractures with bone parameters derived from distal extremities using MRI and pQCT. Distal extremity measures showed variable degrees of association with vertebral deformities and fractures, highlighting the systemic nature of postmenopausal bone loss. Introduction Prevalent vertebral deformities and fractures are known to predict incident further fractures. However, the association of distal extremity measures and vertebral d… Show more

“…MRI parameters include 0.273 × 0.273 × 0.6 mm voxel size, 70 × 70 × 19.2 mm field‐of‐view, 53 ms repetition time, 16 ms echo time, 12 averages, and echo train length of two. Raw MRI data was pre‐processed via bone volume fraction (BVF) mapping and segmentation of the bone into trabecular and cortical compartments for structural measurements and topological analysis using published algorithms . Topological analysis of the trabecular network was performed and two composite parameters, reported to be sensitive to microstructure of bone, were calculated.…”

“…High‐resolution distal tibia images in alloHSCT and matched controls were acquired using a 1.5‐T whole‐body scanner (Siemens Sonata, Erlangen, Germany), as described . Digital topological analysis parameters were surface‐to‐curve ratio (an index of a plate‐like versus rod‐like structure) and erosion index; a lower surface‐to‐curve ratio and greater erosion index have been associated with vertebral deformities …”

“…(22) Digital topological analysis parameters were surface-to-curve ratio (an index of a plate-like versus rod-like structure) and erosion index (23) ; a lower surface-to-curve ratio and greater erosion index have been associated with vertebral deformities. (24) Lumbar spine magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) was performed on the same scanner. A 2D interleaved multiple-gradient-echo chemical-shift imaging sequence was implemented to quantify lipid content in marrow using the manufacturer's spine and body matrix coils.…”

“…This cohort was later analyzed using finite element analysis to estimate stiffness in the distal tibia and distal radius. 125 Total tibial stiffness correlated with biconcave fractures (r 5 0.67, P < 0.005), wedge fractures (r 5 0.57, P < 0.005), but not crush fractures (r 5 0.27, P > 0.05). With the exception of the total radial stiffness and biconcave fractures (r 5 0.40, P < 0.05), radial measures were not correlated with fracture type (r 5 0.07-0.32, P > 0.05).…”

“…The combination of distal radial trabecular surface density and trabecular bone volume fraction were found to account for 30% of the variation of spinal deformity index ( r 2 = 0.31, P < 0.0001) independent of spinal BMD, which demonstrated no significant correlation with spinal deformity ( r = 0.16, P = 0.09). This cohort was later analyzed using finite element analysis to estimate stiffness in the distal tibia and distal radius . Total tibial stiffness correlated with biconcave fractures ( r = 0.67, P < 0.005), wedge fractures ( r = 0.57, P < 0.005), but not crush fractures ( r = 0.27, P > 0.05).…”
