Radiographic Vertebral Fracture Assessment of Vertebral Fracture by the Three-Line Method

Purpose: To evaluate the value of the three-line (TL) method in the diagnosis of vertebral fractures. Methods: 286 patients over 50 years old who received thoracolumbar X-ray examination in our hospital from 2013 to 2019 were selected and divided into three groups according to their age. The incidence and severity of vertebral fractures were measured by the TL method and Genant semi-quantitative technique by the same observer. Eight vertebrae were measured in each patient, ranging from T10 to L5. Results: The TL method was consistent with the Genant semi-quantitative method when evaluating whether patients had vertebral fractures (k >0.75), and the McNemar-bowker test showed no difference in the diagnosis between the two methods (P >0.05). However, Wilcoxon rank sum test found a difference between the two methods in assessing the severity of fractured vertebrae (P < 0.05), and the TL method was more sensitive. Conclusion: The two methods can be substituted for each other in the diagnosis of vertebral fractures. However, TL method is more sensitive in the diagnosis of the severity of spinal fractures. And the TL method is more quantitative and easier for beginners to master.
