Risk calculators and risk factors for Spondyloarthropathy surgery

Surgeries that have been done in patients with SpA are mostly for complications of the disease, these surgeries are joint replacement, vertebral osteotomy, and fracture stabilization.

joint replacement

• The most common joint that have involved in SpA and needs to be replaced is hip joint and afterwards shoulder joint.

• This surgery have been done when the joint have severely damaged and leads to pain and reduction of range of motion.

vertebral osteotomy

• In patients with sever fusion of cervical and upper thoracic vertebral body, vertebral osteotomy have been done to improve patient well-being.

Fracture stabilization

• Due to fusion of vertebral bodies, spinal movement in all 3 plane have been limited and this can lead to fracture of the spine, so any patients with the history of trauma should be considered as fracture, till fracture has been ruled out.
