: The sacroiliac joints appear to have developed wear and tear degenerative changes and the findings might also raise concern regarding secondary inflammation. Clinical correlation may be of value, such as the question of Ankylosing Spondylitis. Ask your doctor about a potential pertinent diagnosis.
