Why have you ignored fractures diagnosed on X-ray and focussed on clinical vertebral fracture?
A prior morphometric fracture has the same significance as any other prior fragility fracture and can be entered into the FRAX® model. The output does not, however, include the probability of a morphometric fracture. This is a conservative position, since their clinical significance is controversial (other than for risk prediction). Nevertheless, this does not affect who would be eligible for treatment.
