TL;DR
The modified thoracolumbar vertebral bone quality score TLVBQ was associated with QCT-derived thoracolumbar vBMD and hip-defined osteoporosis in patients with DLS and may serve as a convenient MRI-based vertebral bone quality indicator for osteoporosis risk screening in patients with severe DLS.
Among lipid parameters evaluated, only high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) was positively associated with VBQ scores; however, this weak association did not significantly compromise the diagnostic performance of VBQ for osteoporosis.

BACKGROUND
Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) are prevalent but frequently remain unrecognized. While bone mineral density (BMD) is the primary assessment tool, MRI-based parameters associated with bone and muscle quality may offer additional value, yet sex-specific analyses are limited, despite sex d...

Patients with single-level OVCFs who underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty or percutaneous kyphoplasty from January 2020 to December 2024 showed significantly better pain relief and functional improvement, as well as a lower incidence of complications.

VBQ can serve as an opportunistic exploratory screening marker of low BMD and FBQcsf may complement VBQ by identifying early marrow-related changes, although further validation is required.

Thoracic and lumbar vertebroplasty yielded comparable 2-year PROMs with no statistically significant differences detected between cohorts, suggesting that the vertebral region may not be a major determinant of patient-reported recovery following vertebroplasty for OVCFs.

The anatomically defined subregional values should be regarded as provisional thoracic-equivalent thresholds derived from lumbar ACR criteria and require prospective outcome-based validation before clinical implementation.
