DOI: 10.1007/s00198-017-3972-9
Abstract: SummaryOsteopenia and osteoporosis were independent predictive factors for higher atlantoaxial subluxation occurrence in patients with lower body mass index. Our findings suggest that patients with rheumatoid arthritis with osteopenia or osteoporosis, particularly those with lower… read more here.
