“…Such exclusions included diseases such as diabetes mellitus, major systemic disease, tumor, infection, back surgery, spinal fractures, and osteoporosis, in which back pain or/and sciatica is one of the complications and the intervertebral disk is prone to degeneration. [39][40][41] Moreover, the well-documented inclusion criteria were respectively applied for both asymptomatic volunteers and patients with back pain or/and sciatica. Second, the equivalence of age ranges and the balanced age distribution were achieved in the asymptomatic and symptomatic groups.…”

We report a case of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with Jaccoud's arthropathy, presenting atlantoaxial subluxation and multiple joint hypermobility. Radiological studies showed degenerative changes, but no destructive changes like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were observed. Since these are rare complications of SLE, the coexistence of these complications suggests that they have a common pathogenesis. Generalized laxity of connective tissues may be a novel syndrome in SLE.

“…Scott et al reported its presence on patients suffering from ankylosing spondylitis [11]. Additionally, Sierra-Jimenez et al , assessing the prevalence of selected clinical and radiological features of tendinous and ligamentous derangements in a consecutive sample of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, announced that 6% of the population suffered of osteitis pubis [13]. …”

Background:Osteitis pubis represents a non-infectious inflammation of the pubic symphysis causing varying degrees of lower abdominal and pelvic pain. Although, the disease is believed to affect mainly young athletic patients, it is also encountered in other specific patient groups. Both conservative and surgical treatment options are available. While for elite athletes surgical treatment is indicated, leading to fast pain relief and mobilization, for non-athletic patients no clear indication can be established.Methods:Eight non-athletic women with osteitis pubis, referred to our Department for treatment, were evaluated. All were initially treated conservatively with bed rest, per os non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and physical therapy.Results:Seven patients improved significantly with conservative treatment while one displayed no improvement and was treated surgically with arthrodesis.Conclusion:We conclude that, for non-athletic female patients suffering from osteitis pubis, surgery is rarely required and that conservative treatment by means of non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs and physical modalities represents a fair option regarding pain and limitation of everyday activity.
