Cervical anterior fusion is useful for the treatment of patients with cervical disease, but carries the risk of postoperative worsening of the cervical spine alignment and kyphosis. Preoperative prediction of the risk for kyphosis could help to avoid such postoperative complications. We attempted to predict the postoperative development of kyphosis in 59 patients scheduled for cervical anterior...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the results and complications of a series of patients who underwent three-column osteotomy using the posterior approach for correction of complex cases of rigid dorsal kyphotic deformity. METHODS Review of clinical records and images of 15 consecutive cases of pedicle subtraction osteotomies, bone-disk-bone osteotomies, or vertebral column resection, recording the etiolo...

OBJECTIVE Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is radiologic finding, and is defined as kyphosis of >10° at the proximal end of a construct. The aim of this study is to identify factors associated with PJK after segmental spinal instrumented fusion in adults with spinal deformity with a minimum follow-up of 2 years. METHODS A total of 49 cases of adult spinal deformity treated by segmental spin...

As for some musculoskeletal complaints caused by kyphosis, including changes body posture bends forward so it affects appearance, pain felt spinal area, muscles get tired easily, and tightness back most severe conditions kyphosis can cause problems respirato...

Abstract Background Up to now in the surgical treatment of Kümmell’s disease combined with thoracolumbar kyphosis, little research has focused on evaluation imaging and clinical outcomes restoring normal alignment sagittal balance spine. This study aimed evaluate short mid-term radiographic kyphosis. Methods From February 2016 May 2018, 30 cases kyphosis were divided into group A B according wh...
