These arthritides are often grouped under the name of “spondylitis deformans,” especially those cases which exhibit deformity and various grades of rigidity. “Spondylitis ankylopoietica” is a name which is sometimes applied to those cases whose chief characteristic is ankylosis of the spine, usually due to ligamentous calcification. The etiology of this group is usually attributed to some obscure infectious agent. We believe that from a study of the clinical features, together with the gross roentgen pathology, one can differentiate these cases still further. The classification given by Knaggs (1) seems to be clear-cut and the terminology bears a direct relation to the underlying pathology. This classification is as follows: I.
