The angle between the two lines of A and D was the kyphotic Cobb angle. The angle between the lines of B and C was vertebral wedge angle (VWA). The length of segment E was the height of the anterior edge of the vertebral body superior to the injury, the length of segment F was the height of the anterior edge of the injured vertebral body, and the length of segment G was the height of the anterior edge of the vertebral body inferior to the injury. AVH% = 2F/(E + G)*100
