Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Background: Pathologic fractures are fractures that occur without an adequate traumatic event due to focal benign or malignant skeletal lesions. The most common causes of pathologic fractures are cystic bone lesions, plasmocytoma or multiple myeloma, and the development of osseous metastases, which is increasing due to an aging general population and advances in cancer treatment. The differentiation of pathologic fractures from stress fractures, especially osteoporotic insufficiency fractures is crucial for correct treatment planning. Objectives: This review intends to explain the imaging characteristics of pathologic fractures. Moreover, it explains the role of imaging when pathologic fractures are suspected. In addition, the Mirels’ score and the SINS (Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score), which are powerful yet easy-to-use tools for the assessment of the fracture risk of benign or malignant bony lesions of the extremities and the vertebral column, shall be introduced. Materials and methods: A PubMed literature search with the following terms was conducted: “pathologic fracture”, “fatigue fracture”, “insufficiency fracture”, “treatment of pathologic fractures”, “imaging of pathologic fractures”, “fracture risk”, “bone metastases”, “MRI of pathologic fractures”, “CT of pathologic fractures”, “differentiation of pathologic and insufficiency fractures”, “Mirels’ score”, “SINS” and “spinal instability neoplastic score”. Results: The definitions of pathologic, fatigue, and insufficiency fractures are explained. Moreover, the role of imaging in the clinical workup of suspected pathologic fractures and the differentiation of pathologic fractures from fatigue or insufficiency fractures as well as common scoring systems to assess the fracture risk of pathologic fractures are described.
