Therefore, it can be argued that the most appropriate way to describe a patient is not to refer to the subgroup (e.g. ankylosing spondylitis), but to the clinical presentation (e.g. axial involvement of spondylarthropathy).

[…] Il existe trois signes rhumatologiques majeurs : l'atteinte axiale, l'atteinte des articulations périphériques et l'atteinte de l'insertion des tendons. L'atteinte axiale désigne l'inflammation des ligaments de la colonne vertébrale, des articulations sacro-iliaques(articulations situées dans les fesses entre l'os iliaque et le sacrum) et de la partie antérieure de la cage thoracique(articulations sterno-costales). 1, record 7, French, - atteinte%20axiale
