Percentage of advanced stage disc degeneration adjacent to vertebral fractures (VFs) at different intervertebral disc levels. The percentages of advanced stage disc degeneration in T12/L1, L1/L2 and L2/L3 in the VF-positive group were significantly higher than those in the VF-negative group. However, there was no significant difference in the percentages of advanced stage disc degeneration between the VF-positive group and the VF-negative group in L3/L4 and L4/L5. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 between VF- and VF+
