Schmorl’s nodes are associated with prevalent osteoporotic vertebral fracture and low bone mineral density: a population-based thoracic spine MRI study in older men and women

BACKGROUND: Schmorl’s node (SN) corresponds to nucleus pulposus herniation into the vertebral spongy bone with thickened trabeculae around the formed node. We hypothesize that a pathway may exist that: osteoporosis → weakened endplate → SN development ↔ endplate fracture of an osteoporotic vertebra....
