    Author : Viktor Lison Almkvist; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), or Bechterew’s disease, is an inflammatory rheumaticdisease that through the formation of additional bone tissue in the spine eventuallyleads to the complete fusion of the vertebrae, in effect turning the spine into one longbone. Due to the reduced flexibility of the spine with the long lever arms, spinalfractures in AS-patients are relatively common even after minor trauma. READ MORE
