Article: Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia with severe pathologic compression fracture of L2

A case of a progressive pathologic compression fracture of L2 due to polyostotic fibrous dysplasia is presented. Such unusually severe involvement, requiring decompression and surgical fusion, in the absence of significant recent or remote trauma, has not previously been reported.
