Abstract
The mechanism of new bone formation at entheses in spondyloarthritis (SpA) is poorly understood, but it is a key factor contributing to disability in disease. As bony spur development is also an age-related phenomenon, spurs in elderly dissecting room cadavers were studied in order to establish general principles relating to their development.
