As a spine surgeon, I occasionally see spine related manifestations of Rheumatoid Arthritis. I can clearly state that the surgical treatment for RA of the spine is individualized to the patient's condition, degree of severity, age, symptoms, etc. There is no cookie cutter type of approach. Similarly, I am certain that Rheumatologists tailor their medical treatment to their respective patients. I hope that this answers your quesion.
