Vertebral fragility fractures (VFF) are common and are frequently present on imaging, but are rarely reported.

This dedicated guidance is designed to facilitate radiological recognition and actionable reporting of VFFs. The recommendations are applicable to all individuals who report imaging that may incorporate the spine, including radiologists reporting on- and offsite (including teleradiology) and reporting radiographers. This guidance has been endorsed by the British Society of Skeletal Radiologists, the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal Osteoporosis Society.
