Ankylosing spondylitis has been linked with dactylitis. It is distinguished by tenosynovitis that affects the flexor tendons resulting in inflammatory swelling in one or more fingers or toes. One of the main indicators that the disease is progressing toward generalized ankylosis is the restriction of cervical spine mobility.
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a type of arthritis from the disease spectrum of axial spondyloarthritis. [5] It is characterized by long-term inflammation of the joints of the spine, typically where the spine joins the pelvis. [2] With AS, eye and bowel problems—as well as back pain—may occur. [2]

Ankylosing spondylitis is a type of arthritis in which there is long-term inflammation of the joints of the spine. [2] Other forms of arthritis may sometimes also lead to ankylosis, including rheumatoid arthritis and reactive arthritis; Osteoarthritis usually confers osteophyte formation, which may eventually fuse across joints. Osteoarthritis ...
Chronic arthritis or sacroiliitis occurs in 15–30 percent of cases. Repeated attacks over many years are common, and patients sometimes end up with chronic and disabling arthritis, heart disease, amyloid deposits, ankylosing spondylitis, immunoglobulin A nephropathy, cardiac conduction abnormalities, or aortitis with aortic regurgitation.
