Aboudiab M, et al. - In this study, the utility of vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) was analyzed to detect vertebral fractures in individuals over 50 years of age, who suffered from a recent low-trauma non-severe peripheral fracture. Researchers designed an observational, single-center, cross-sectional study to include individuals over 50 years of age, who presented a recent low-trauma non-severe peripheral fracture and were distinguished by the Fracture Liaison Service of Amiens University Hospital between December 2017 and March 2019. A 359 individuals included in this analysis. Two trained rheumatologists interpreted VFA providing a consensual reading applying Genant semi-quantitative assessment. This study's findings indicate the utility of systematic VFA to diagnose prevalent VF in individuals over 50 years of age who suffer from a recent non-severe peripheral fracture.
