Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis: A functional enemy of vertebral stability – Case series and surgical consideration of craniovertebral junction involvement

Context: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) or Forestier's syndrome may reduce vertebral mobility, thus affecting the stability of adjacent vertebral segments and promoting spinal stenosis, vertebral dislocation, and unstable fracture secondary to low-energy trauma. Aims: This stud...
