Integrating core muscle morphology into a predictive model for residual back pain after vertebral augmentation.

Therefore, the marginally non-significant result in our model should not diminish the clinical importance of BMD assessment but rather be contextualized as a consequence of cohort homogeneity and the short-term nature of our outcome measure; muscle morphology may serve as a more sensitive discriminator of acute residual back pain within this already-osteoporotic population, complementing rather than replacing BMD in comprehensive patient evaluation.
