		<description><![CDATA[Spinal Osteoarthritis is characterized by degenerative process­es in the spine (spondylosis). A large variety of different shapes can be seen on X-rays. Height reduction of the inter­vertebral disk space, sclerosis of the endplates, and marginal vertebral osteophytes are typical for osteochondrosis inter- vertebralis whereas normal disk space and submarginal spondylophytes is characterizing spinal osteoarthritis. Be­cause [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Objective quantification of a vertebral fracture can be per­formed with morphometric measurements. Using a ruler, you can measure the anterior, middle, and posterior heights of the vertebral bodies on a plane X-ray film or digitally on screen (Figure 4). To calculate the grade of fracture, you divide each the anterior and middle height by the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Osteoporotic vertebral fractures are characterized by end plate deformities of different shape. Increased activity of osteoclasts generates increased numbers of Howship&#8217;s resorption lacunae on the surface of bone. Resorption first affects horizontal tra- beculae leading to a deterioration of the trabecular network. This increases the risk of trabeculae buckling, and consequent­ly, vertebral endplates fracture. Deterioration [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the basic diagnostic procedure, it is mandatory to X-ray the patient&#8217;s vertebral column in an anterior-posterior and later­ al projection because for differential diagnostics, it is important to exclude other diseases causing vertebral deformities. In fol­low-up studies one can reduce X-ray examination to lateral ex­positions of the spine. Osteoporotic vertebral fractures occur only in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Introduction The WHO definition of post-menopausal osteoporosis is based on the measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) with dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Low DXA-BMD of the hip as well as poor results in the trail making and chair rising tests are risk factors of equivalent magnitude for vertebral fractures (Johnell, 2004(. Consequently, more diagnostic ap­proaches [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[DISCUSSION In this study, 68% of the physicians had low bone mass (12% had osteoporosis and 56% had osteopenia). We are unable to identify similar, published data on bone mass in a cohort of physicians; thus, this is a unique study. The results of NHANES III showed that the prevalence of low bone mass increases [...]]]></description>
