The relationship between vertebral height loss vs. spine fracture classification and endplate fracture location.
| Denis’ classification, n (%) | Endplate, n (%) | |||||||
| Height loss | Comp | Burst | Flex-dist | Frac-disl | sEP | iEP | sEP & iEP | Total, n |
| < 1/5 | 121 (78.6) | 20 (13.0) | 11 (7.1) | 2 (1.3) | 140 (90.9) | 3 (2.0) | 11 (7.1) | 154 |

Comp: Compression; Flex-dist: Flexion-distraction; Frac-disl: fracture-dislocation; iEP: inferior endplate; sEP: superior endplate.
