inflammatory disorder of the muscles and joints characterized by

nonsurgical option is chosen the patient is given an initial
posterior splint and followed up in 3-5 days, then placed in a
short non-weight-bearing cast for 6 weeks, at which time a
repeat radiograph is taken. If the radiograph shows healing, the
patient can return to gradual weight bearing. If the radiograph
does not show proper healing, then the period of non-weight
bearing is extended.

given 5 years after the first.
