Schematic diagrams of the radiographic measurements. a The anterior vertebral body height of the fractured vertebra (double arrow) is the actual height of the anterior cortex of the vertebral body as measured on the lateral radiograph. b Measuring on a lateral radiograph with modified Cobb method requires inferior endplates above the fractured vertebra for kyphotic angle measurement.
