Summary:

The first and only interdisciplinary guide dedicated to the subject, this reference leads readers through the pathogenic, genetic, clinical, and biomechanical aspects of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). It also addresses issues related to outcomes assessment, medical treatment, surgical complications, disease management, and genetics. Detailing current treatment options and clinical essentials, this reference explores therapy options such as physiotherapy, spa-exercise therapy, and biologicals; anaesthetic considerations; image-based planning and computer-assisted surgery in AS, total hip and knee replacement in AS, and research avenues that many impact the future care of AS patients.
