Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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.

Article Description
In primary amyloidosis (AL), a fibrillar protein (amyloid light chain) is deposited in many organs; however, it is rare to have involvement of the vertebral bodies. Multiple myeloma is a well-known systemic amyloid disease that frequently has vertebral involvement. However, the pathology of vertebral involvement of these two clinical entities differs significantly. We report a patient with L4 vertebral collapse because of primary AL, causing neurological compromise that improved with surgical treatment. Deposition of amyloid and following demineralisation caused the vertebral collapse. Primary AL needs to be taken into consideration as a cause of pathological vertebral fracture.
