    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Spinal enostoses, bone growths in the spine, are more common than previously thought. This study found these lesions in 14% of cadavers, suggesting higher prevalence in thoracic and lumbar vertebrae.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Radiology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Spinal enostoses are generally considered rare bone lesions.
    • Previous reports indicated a prevalence of approximately 1% in spinal examinations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the occurrence and characteristics of spinal enostoses.
    • To determine the actual prevalence of enostoses in thoracic and lumbar vertebral bodies.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective radiographic and pathologic investigation.
    • Examination of 100 cadaver specimens.
    • Analysis of radiographic findings before and after death.

    Main Results:

    • Spinal enostoses were identified in 14% (14 of 100) of cadavers.

  • Lesion sizes ranged from 2x2 mm to 6x10 mm.
  • Radiographs taken before death detected findings in only 29% of cases with enostoses.

    • Conclusions:

    • Spinal enostoses may be more prevalent than previously reported.
    • Radiographic detection of spinal enostoses can be challenging, even with advanced imaging.
