Definition/Description[edit | edit source]

Forestier disease or diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis is a condition characterized by thickening, calcification and ossification of soft tissues, mainly ligaments, joint capsules and insertions of muscles and tendons (entheses). Another aspect of the disease is the formation of large, flowing osteophytes due to abnormal bone growth (Mader R 2005(A1), Sarzi-Puttini P 2004(A1), Mader R 2009(A1)) Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer.

Use a descriptive title


These ossifications are mostly seen in the axial skeleton, of which the thoracic region is the main location (Mader R 2005(A1), Mader R 2002(C)) Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer.

Also peripheral entheses may be affected: peripatellar ligaments, Achilles tendon insertion, plantar fascia, shoulders, olecranon and metacarpophalangeal joints (Mader R 2005(A1), Sarzi-Puttini P 2004(A1), Mader R 2009(A1)) Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer.

Forestier disease or DISH has also been described by various other names, such as spondylosis hyperostotica, spondylitis ossificans ligamentosa, senile ankylosing hyperostosis and others (Giles LGF 2001) Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer. Use a descriptive title
 

Epidemiology/Etiology[edit | edit source]

Forestier disease (DISH) is most common in the elderly population (>50 years old) and the prevalence increases with age (Mader R 2005(A1), Sarzi-Puttini P 2004(A1)) [1,4]. Although the etiology of the disease is not fully understood, studies have already shown that the clinical features are related to the formation of new bone. It is assumed that several metabolic factors affect the onset of the disease (Holton KF 2011(B), Mader R 2002(C), Sarzi-Puttini P 2004(A1), Westerveld LA 2009(C)) Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer.
