Cascade of osteoporotic fractures in a 76-year-old patient. The initial MRI ( a and b ) shows a recent or semi-recent fracture of the T10 and L2 vertebrae, and a discrete fracture of the lower L4 endplate. The persistence of pain leads the physician to propose a vertebroplasty. The new MRI ( c and d ), performed 2 months after the first one, shows four new fractures, T11, T12, upper endplate of L4, and L5.
