A member asked:
Is sacroilitis a form of arthritis? why does'nt a orthopedician not handle the case?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it is: It is simply arthritic inflammation of the sacroiliac joints. Orthopedists do not generally become involved in the diagnosis and nonsurgical treatments of an inflammatory arthritis. A rheumatologist does that.
