Abstract

Ankylosing spinal disease (ASD) is a common clinical entity [1]. The main etiologies of ASD are diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), ankylosing spondylitis and postoperative spinal fusion after removal of instrumentation. Because of the rigidity of the spine patients with ASD are prone to fractures even with minor trauma and unstable fracture patterns (distraction fractures and involvement of the posterior column) are common [1].
