Spondylopathies are disorders of the vertebrae.
When involving inflammation, it can be called spondylitis.
In contrast, a spondyloarthropathy is a condition involving the vertebral joints, but many conditions involve both spondylopathy and spondyloarthropathy.
Examples include ankylosing spondylitis and spondylosis.
