Abstract
Fifty-nine-year old male with a history of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) suffered a slip and fall injury with axial back pain. He was seen in the Emergency Department, diagnosed with compression fracture, and discharged home in TLSO brace without further evaluation. His pain persisted for 3 months with progressive kyphotic deformity. He presented to spine clinic with continued pain for further evaluation (Fig. 32.1).
