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.
