Internal fixation for stress fractures of the ankylosed spine
Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine
|May 1, 1985
Abstract:
Three cases of stress fractures affecting the rigid spine of ankylosing spondylitis are reported. Even without the typical destructive features of the Romanus lesion, symptoms may be very prolonged and disabling and the diagnosis difficult. Internal fixation produces immediate pain relief and rapid fracture union.
