Ankylosing Spondylitis: References

SUMMARY

Ankylosing spondylitis is a severe spinal deformity that could radically affect the body. An attempt to correct the rigid fixed spinal deformity in AS is not an easy task and requires the capability of a highly experienced spine surgeon. Although the physical outcome of surgical treatment is beneficial, risks and complications exist that demand awareness by both the physician and patient.
