The kyphotic angle (KA) is measured by using the Cobb angle between the superior endplate of the intact vertebra above and the inferior endplate of the intact vertebra below.
The percentages of loss of vertebral body height (LOVBH) and interpedicular distance (IPD) are measured by comparing the anterior body height and IPD with the mean of similar values obtained from the vertebrae immediately above and below. KA = Cobb angle; LOVBH = [(A1 + A2)- 2A0 / (A1 + A2)] × 100%; IPD = [2B0 - (B1 + B2) / (B1 + B2)] × 100%.
Fig 2.
Canal compromise (CC) is calculated as a ratio of the canal area of the injured level to the average of that of the two adjacent uninjured segments.
CC = [(C1 + C2)- 2C0 / (C1 + C2)] × 100%.
