SAT0027 Hip joint involvement in psoriatic arthritis (psar)

Abstract

Conclusion The significant difference between radiographic and MRI findings in detecting of vertebral fractures was found. The results suggest that plain X-rays cannot be considered as a sufficient method for detection vertebral fractures in patients with AS. MRI should be considered as the method of choice in revealing spinal fractures in AS patients. Disease activity may contribute in developing of nontraumatic spinal fractures in this group of patients.
