Thereby, osteoporotic mid-thoracic fractures seem to be particularly more related to frailty without a history of traumatic injury compared to osteoporotic fractures of the TLJ and the lumbar spine. Additionally, the presence of severe mid-thoracic fractures predicts subsequent fractures of the hip. In contrast, subsequent fractures of the spine are less likely.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00068-021-01792-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,29]],"date-time":"2021-09-29T18:11:24Z","timestamp":1632939084000},"page":"1639-1647","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Osteoporotic mid-thoracic vertebral body fractures: what are the differences compared to fractures of the lumbar spine?\u2014a systematic review"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"48","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5179-4192","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ulrich Josef","family":"Spiegl","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Max Joseph","family":"Scheyerer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Georg","family":"Osterhoff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sebastian","family":"Gr\u00fcninger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Klaus John","family":"Schnake","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,29]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"1792_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"117","DOI":"10.1016\/0021-9290(91)90356-r","volume":"24","author":"MA Adams","year":"1991","unstructured":"Adams MA, Dolan P.
