Background: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a systemic non-inflammatory disorder characterized by enthesopathy and osteophyte formation. DISH can also cause several other symptoms. Limited range of motion (ROM) is the most common symptom; however, dysphagia and respiratory distress are clinically important symptoms.

Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (IDHS) is a multifactorial disease with a high prevalence and that is frequently detected incidentally in imaging tests. Most of its diagnostic criteria are focused on axial involvement and more specifically the spine. However, peripheral involvement in DISH is less well known despite its non insignificant frequency.

Ankylosing spinal diseases, such as ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), are highly important in spinal traumatology and are therefore specifically considered in the AO Spine Classification of spinal injuries. These diseases make the spine extremely susceptible to injury and also complicate the diagnosis and treatment, leading to an increased mortality. Concomitant neurological injuries are frequent.

Introduction: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a common condition of the adult skeleton where new bone growth occurs in entheseal and bony regions. The cause for the new bone growth is unclear but many lines of evidence point to a role for growth factors linked to abnormal metabolism in these patients. The bone targets for these presumed growth factors are poorly defined.

A 74-year-old male patient was referred with signs of sepsis 5 days after having been diagnosed with a rib fracture following a fall out of bed. Novel hypodensities were visible on thoracic X‑rays and laboratory tests revealed elevated inflammatory parameters. Subsequently performed thoracic computed tomography (CT) scan showed burst fracture of the 3rd thoracic vertebra, posttraumatic esophageal rupture at the same level and mediastinitis.

Salvage revisions of atlantoaxial (AA) joint complex posterior segmental instrumented fusion constructs require careful individualized planning to prevent occipital extension. In this case report, we describe the use of bilateral intrafacet spacer placement as a mobility-sparing bailout option for the revision surgery. A 64-year-old male with a history of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, extremely limited baseline cervical mobility, and prior AA posterior segmental instrumented fusion presented with increasing pain at his 6-month follow-up.

Background Although the correlation between reduced skin thickness and reduced bone density has been investigated, no study has evaluated skin thickness and osteoproliferative diseases, including ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) and diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH). Methodology This retrospective cohort study consisted of 99 consecutive patients aged ≥60 years treated for spinal surgery at our hospital between January 2022 and March 2023. Skin thickness was measured at the dorsal side of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae on the sagittal cross-section image of whole-spine CT.

Objectives: We aimed to explore the radiographic definitions of types of New Bone formation (NBF) by focusing on the terminology, description and location of the findings.
Methods: Three systematic literature reviews were conducted in parallel to identify the radiographic spinal NBF definitions for spondyloarthritis (SpA), Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH) and Osteorathritis (OA). Study characteristics and definitions were extracted independently by two reviewers.

Background: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a potentially serious osteopathic disorder associated with coalescing ossifications of the anterior vertebrae and may be concomitant with a constellation of symptomatology and systemic comorbidities. There is limited dental literature describing this finding on panoramic radiographs and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans.
Case Presentations: Two case reports of DISH are provided.

Objectives: The purpose of our study was to characterise spatiotemporal features of disease progression in people with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), early-phase DISH, and those not meeting either criterion who had repeated CT scans of the thoracic spine.
Methods: A retrospective study was designed in collaboration with the to evaluate completeness of ectopic bridging across the thoracic spine and corresponding disease status over an average of 2.7 years (range from 0.

Background: To achieve good bone fusion in anterior column reconstruction for vertebral fractures, not only bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism markers but also lever arms due to bone bridging between vertebral bodies should be evaluated. However, until now, no lever arm index has been devised. Therefore, we believe that the maximum number of vertebral bodies that are bony and cross-linked with the contiguous adjacent vertebrae (maxVB) can be used as a measure for lever arms.

Background: Unintentional falls are common among the elderly and given the expected increase of the aging population, these falls contribute to a high number of admissions to the emergency department. Relatively low-energy trauma mechanisms can lead to serious injuries in the elderly, with contributing factors being comorbidities, medication use and degenerative abnormalities.
Case Presentation: A 94-year-old female suffered an unintentional fall at home.

Background: It has been documented that diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) exhibits a higher prevalence among elderly, male, and obese individuals. Additionally, diabetes mellitus and other comorbidities are more frequently observed in this patient population. However, there is a lack of reports exploring the correlation between the extent of ossification and these demographic and clinical characteristics.
