Autoinflammatory bone diseases (AIBDs) constitute a recently identified subset of autoinflammatory diseases. These conditions are characterized by an exaggerated inflammatory response in the bones without any apparent etiology. Inflammatory bone lesions associated with AIBDs exhibit chronic inflammation, are typically culture-negative, and do not exhibit discernible microorganisms on histopathological examination.

Paget's disease is a condition marked by abnormal bone remodeling, involving both excessive bone formation and destruction, predominantly in the elderly. Pagetic vertebral ankylosis is a rare manifestation, often associated with Paget's disease, ankylosing spondylitis, or diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis. This form of acquired vertebral ankylosis is uncommon and occurs in cases with bone-bridging syndesmophytes or osteophytes.

Aim: SAPHO (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis) syndrome is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by typical cutaneous lesions (palmoplantar pustulosis and eruptive acne) and osteoarticular symptoms (aseptic osteomyelitis and joint inflammation). This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) inhibitor abrocitinib in patients with SAPHO syndrome.

Unlabelled: This is the first study to report that TBS seems not only unaffected by bone artifacts, but also is superior to BMD in the discrimination of vertebral fractures in SAPHO patients, which highlights the importance of adding TBS measurement to DXA images in routine clinical evaluation.
Purpose: To investigate the impact of bone artifacts on trabecular bone score (TBS) and lumbar spine (LS) bone mineral density (BMD) measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and analyze the clinical utility of TBS evaluation for vertebral fracture (VF) risk assessment in SAPHO patients compared with BMD assessment.
Methods: Seventy SAPHO patients (mean age 50.
