What level of inflammation leads to structural damage in the sacroiliac joints?

ConclusionsWhileextensiveSIJ BMO was a strong independent predictor for development of structural lesions,limited/intermediateBMO were mostly transient and only rarely evolved intoextensiveBMO or structural lesions. These findings enhance our understanding of the natural development of SIJ lesions and indicate different progression patterns forlimited/intermediate vs.extensiveBMO, possibly due to different aetiologies.This article is protected by copyright.
