spondyloarthropathy are two
groups of inflammatory joint disease.
Detection of early inflammatory joint
disease is not possible with clinical
examination or plain radiography, which
have been the main diagnostic methods
in the past. Changes detected on
plain radiography are those of chronic
damage caused by these conditions
rather that acute inflammation, which
results in delay in diagnosis and often
suboptimal outcomes in these patients.peer-reviewe
