Abstract
Ankylosing hyperostosis of the spine is a distinct clinical entity that merits diagnosis and recognition of its structural limitations. A man with multiple thoracic spine fractures presented here emphasizes the potentially increased susceptibility of involved spines to trauma and also suggests the need to caution diagnosed patients from placing their spines at undue risk.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
