Abstract:
Bone mineral density was determined by DEXA method on the lumbal spine and on the femoral neck, on 44 patients suffering from ankylosing spondylitis. It was established that the osteopenie (low bone mineral density) was covered by the syndesmophytes. The comparative measurement showed a lower bone mineral density for patients, who don't have syndesmophytes on the L II-IV. vertebraes.
