🖐🏼 VERTEBRAL FRACTURES🖐🏼 Not only are several types of vertebral fractures missed by imaging, but doing forward bends “to stretch the back” (hello, yogis) is contraindicated and can be injurious. A manual exam by a qualified practitioner can detect fractures often before the radiologist can. I know this first hand from my own recovery story. . . Thx to @drjameswebb for the original post #retrainbackpain #vcf #compressionfracture #spinehealth #backrehab #backpainsucks Posted @withregram • @drjameswebb . . Studies have shown that radiologists miss over 50% of vertebral compression fractures on imaging. The most accurate test for acute fractures is closed fist percussion exam (CFPE) which detects 87% of recent fractures (Langdon et al, 2010). . . . #ebm #evidencebased #evidencebasedmedicine #osteoporosis #bonehealth #bonehead #vcf #vertebralfracture #compressionfracture #radiology #imaging #asbmr #nof @douglaspbeall
