Abstract：
:Low back pain (LBP) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has so far been of little concern in clinical investigations. The main focus of scientific publications on spinal problems in RA was the cervical spine. In a recent study, we could demonstrate that LBP in RA patients leads to a significantly higher degree of disability and depression as well as to a reduction in quality of life compared to RA patients without LBP. If there is a specific reason for the additional symptom of LBP, such as spinal stenosis or segmental instability, surgical treatment may be indicated to improve disability and quality of life. For a successful outcome of spinal surgery it is important to address the specific aspects of RA patients, such as poor bone quality and the immunosuppressive effect of antirheumatic drug treatment. Whenever possible, minimally invasive surgical techniques should be used and the immunosuppressive medication should be stopped before surgery.
