DISH, also known as Forestier disease, is a common disorder of unknown etiology characterized by enthesopathy of the spine and extremities, that usually presents with back pain and spinal stiffness. ; Diagnosis can be confirmed with radiographs of the cervical and thoracic spine. A CT scan should be performed whenever there is concern for a fracture following low energy trauma. ; Treatment is usually activity modification, physical therapy, and bisphosphonate therapy. Associated spine fractures are treated with long spinal fusion.
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a systemic condition characterized by characteristic ossification patterns that can occur in the spine and peripheral entheses.[1] DISH most commo...
Increased systemic bone turnover may be associated with the presence of OPLL in the thoracic spine, and bone turnover markers such as PINP and TRACP-5b can help screen for thoracic OPLL. Study Desi...
