Background:

Ankylosing vertebral hyperostosis (AVH) is a condition characterized by abnormal bone growth.
Extra-vertebral manifestations of AVH are not well-documented, particularly in the foot.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of foot involvement in patients with ankylosing vertebral hyperostosis.

Main Methods:

Clinical and radiological examination of the foot in 25 patients diagnosed with ankylosing vertebral hyperostosis.
Analysis of symptoms, radiological findings, and correlation with vertebral involvement.

Main Results:

16 out of 25 patients (64%) showed signs of AVH in the foot.
Eleven patients experienced painful symptoms, primarily heel pain (9 cases).

Related Experiment Videos

Five patients had radiological changes in the feet that led to the diagnosis of vertebral AVH.

Conclusions:

The foot is a relevant extra-vertebral site for ankylosing vertebral hyperostosis.
Clinical and radiological foot examination can aid in the diagnosis of AVH.
Specific radiological findings include osteophytic proliferations and ossifications in various foot bones and ligaments.
