Abstract

In 11 patients with Forestier disease 4 were shown to have obliteration of the sacroiliac joints. We suggest that if patients with this disease are observed for a long period ossification of the sacro-iliac joints will be seen, as in ankylosing spondylitis, with loss of sacro-iliac pain when present.
