However, the anatomical positional relationship between the aorta and osteophytes in patients with DISH remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the position of osteophytes in relation to aorta in DISH, and the influence of aortic pulsation on the formation of osteophytes from the perspective of morphology.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We conducted a retrospective review of 101 patients diagnosed with DISH and symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis between June 2018 and December 2021. A total of 637 segments with heterotopic ossification in DISH were used for quantitative measurements on CT scans. The Cartesian coordinate system was built up on the axial CT scans to reflect the relative position between aorta and osteophytes. Osteophytes were divided into adjacent aorta group (AD group) and non\u2010adjacent aorta group (N\u2010AD group). In terms of the morphology, osteophytes in the AD group were further divided into convex, flat, and concave types. The relative position between aorta and osteophytes, and the aorta\u2010osteophyte distance and morphology of osteophytes were compared. Univariate analysis of variance was performed for multiple groups, and two independent\u2010samples <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>\u2010tests were used for two groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>From T5 to L4, aorta gradually descended from left side to middle of vertebrae, and osteophytes gradually shifted from right side of vertebrae (T5\u2010T10) to bilateral sides (T11\u2010L4). Of 637 osteophytes in DISH, 60.1% (383\/637) were in AD group, including convex type 0.6% (4\/637), flat type 34.7% (221\/637), and concave type 24.8% (158\/637). The N\u2010AD group accounted for 39.9% (254\/637). Flat osteophytes were concentrated in T5\u2010T12, while concave osteophytes in T11\u2010L4. Overall, the aorta\u2010osteophyte distance of concave type was significantly smaller than that of flat type.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Osteophytes are not always located on the right side of vertebrae, but move with the position of the descending aorta.
