Özet

Purpose: The aim is to evaluate Achilles tendon enthesopathy with ultrasound (US) in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and non-radiographic axial SpA (nr-axSpA) patients and controls, and compare these groups in terms of associations between disease activity parameters and ultrasonographic Achilles enthesitis signs.
