[Method] 44 patients with ankylosing spondylitis kyphosis, posterior “V” osteotomy 1 ~ 2 above, and use PRSS device fixation. [Results] Cobb  s spine angle from an average of 74 ° corrected to 30 °, the average correction of 44 °, the average height increase of 5.5 cm. After 15 to 66 months (mean 36 months) follow-up, bone osteotomy at fusion without loss of correction of degrees. [Conclusion] Posterior “V” osteotomy fixation device and the PRSS to treat ankylosing spondylitis kyphosis in an effective manner. Keywords: Ankylosing spondylitis; kyphosis; PRSS Device Ankylosing spondylitis kyphosis, classic treatment for posterior osteotomy and correction with various compression devices and fixed, there have been Harrington France, Lupue law and a variety of pedicle screws, hooks law, are constantly being improved efficacy. Since the late ossification strong ridge of many surgical anatomic landmarks disappear, so that put nails, put hooks difficulties, severe kyphosis, are required osteotomy correction of kyphosis after the first compression means (with the risk of overcorrection paraplegia), can be successfully put stick into the slot. Since 1999, the author, after osteotomy using PRSS (plate rod system for scolisis, panels - Rod System) device, a fixed kyphosis correction to overcome the above problems, received good results. A clinical data 1.1 General Information The group of 44 cases, 42 males and 2 females; aged 17 to 66 years, with an average 31-year-old, before and after surgery Cobb Cobb  s angle average 74 °
