An unusual case of osteoarthritis?

Clin Case Rep. 2021 Aug 21;9(8):e04662. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.4662. eCollection 2021 Aug.

Abstract

Forestier disease is a condition characterized by calcification and ossification of ligaments and entheses particularly affecting axial skeleton. Diagnosis is difficult and mandates a high suspicion level, but unexpensive and accessible examinations like a simple radiography might provide useful diagnostic clues in these challenging clinical scenarios and improve clinical assistance.

Keywords: Forestier disease; bone; diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis; osteoarthritis; radiography.
