FEATURES OF DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF SPINAL FRACTURE IN BEKHTEREV'S DISEASE (CLINICAL CASE)

The prolonged course of the autoimmune inflammatory process in Bekhterev's disease is accompanied by calcification of the ligaments of the vertebral column, damage to the rib vertebral and arcuate joints, their ankylosing, which ultimately leads to a decrease in the support capacity of the spine, as a result of which even a minor injury can lead to a fracture. Timely diagnosis using MSCT and MRI studies allows us to assess the nature of traumatic changes and choose the most effective type of surgical treatment, if necessary, using stabilizing systems.
