    Forestier disease, also known as ankylosing hyperostosis, is a common condition in older adults. Distinct clinical and radiographic signs help differentiate it from ankylosing spondylitis, aiding diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Orthopedics
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Forestier disease, or ankylosing hyperostosis, is a prevalent condition affecting middle-aged and elderly individuals.
    • Distinguishing Forestier disease from ankylosing spondylitis is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the characteristic clinical and radiographic features of Forestier disease.
    • To emphasize the diagnostic utility of extraspinal manifestations in identifying ankylosing hyperostosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical presentations of Forestier disease.
    • Analysis of radiographic findings, including spinal and extraspinal features.
    • Comparison of diagnostic criteria for Forestier disease and ankylosing spondylitis.

    Main Results:

    • Key clinical features include spinal stiffness with preserved function, elbow and heel pain, and dysphagia.
    • Radiographic hallmarks involve ligament ossification, para-articular osteophytosis, and entheseal bone production.
    • Extraspinal radiographic findings are highly suggestive of Forestier disease, even without axial imaging.

    Conclusions:

    • Forestier disease presents with specific clinical and radiographic patterns.
    • Characteristic extraspinal findings can facilitate diagnosis of Forestier disease.
    • Differentiating Forestier disease from ankylosing spondylitis relies on a combination of clinical and imaging evidence.
