Percentage of advanced stage disc degeneration adjacent to vertebral fractures (VFs). a The percentage of advanced stage disc degeneration evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was compared between VF-negative (VF-) and VF-positive (VF+) groups. **P < 0.01 (by chi-square test). b The VF+ group was classified into the following three subgroups: 1. IVDs superior to VFs (superior group), 2. IVDs inferior to VFs (inferior group), and 3. IVDs located between VFs (bilateral group). † P < 0.006 (by Bonferroni correction)
