What is Ankylosing Spondylitis about?

Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory disease primarily affecting the sacroiliac joints and spine, commonly seen in males aged 15-35 and associated with the HLA-B27 gene. It can present as true or false ankylosis, with symptoms including back pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. Treatment involves patient education, exercise, medication, and in some cases, surgical interventions like spinal osteotomy or joint replacements.
