Management of the thoracolumbar transdiscal fractures complicating ankylosing spondylitis: a case series.

Abstract

Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is an inflammatory chronic rheumatic disease, which, if not treated appropriately, exposes the formation of the ankylosed or bamboo spine. The ankylosed spine is very susceptible to fracture. The aim of our work is to report on our experience in the management of AS patients with thoracolumbar fractures and their evolution.
