Abstract

We report three cases of ankylosing spinal hyperostosis (ASH) surgically treated for thoracic vertebral fracture. All were injured by minor trauma and had been treated conservatively in other institutes but treatment failed. Finally, they visited our hospital and were treated surgically. The results of surgical treatment for ASH were successful by posterior fusion with instrumentation. We recommend primary surgical treatment for vertebral fracture with ASH to avoid complications of nonunion, deformity, and neurologic injury.
