The incidence of proximal junctional kyphosis was similar for both pedicle screw and hook patients in adult scoliosis, averaging 28% with patients having at least 2.5 years of follow-up.

36 pediatric patients underwent osteotomy surgery for kyphosis correction-19% lost intraoperative motors. Raising blood pressure and correction release led to signal and neurologic normalization.

Congenital Kyphosis

Farcy & Schwab — 2007-07-19 17:14:59 GMT

Patient/Parent Information
This category of spinal deformity refers to an abnormal development (incomplete formation, or segmentation) in the spine which leads to abnormal kyphosis that may be progressive and severe. The angular deformity due to abnormal bone development in the spine may be quite significant and evolve rapidly during the first years of life. In very mild forms of congenital kyphosis treatment may be delayed, however many cases require prompt and thorough evaluation as well as surgical treatment. Bracing is unfortunately not considered an effective treatment for these kyphosis.

Interbody Cages and Pedicle Screws for Scheuermann Kyphosis Medscape

Moquin et al — 2007-07-19 17:14:59 GMT

Combined Anterior-Posterior Fusion With Laterally Placed Threaded Interbody Cages and Pedicle Screws for Scheuermann Kyphosis
from Neurosurgical Focus Posted 02/03/2003 Ross R. Moquin, M.D., Michael K. Rosner, M.D., Patrick B. Cooper, M.D.
Abstract The authors report their preferred method for correcting Scheuermann disease via a combined anterior-posterior approach; their procedure is associated with a lower morbidity rate than the standard approach. Twenty-month follow-up examination demonstrated excellent maintenance of correction. The results satisfied the requirements to function without restriction in a vigorous military environment.

Kyphosis (Curvature of the Spine)

AAOS Online Service Fact SheetKyphosis (Curvature of the Spine)
Few things bother parents more than their child's posture. This is particularly true for an exaggerated rounding to the back. Some degree of curvature to the spine is normal. The term "kyphosis" (kI-fO-sis) is usually applied to the curve that results in an exaggerated "round-back." A variety of disorders may be responsible for this condition

Kyphosis - Abnormal SRS

Not Available — 2002-01-11 17:14:59 GMT

Patient Information
Imaging guidelines exist as described for scoliosis. With the patient erect, radiographs are taken to show side-to-side alignment. Spinal radiographs are sometimes taken with the patient erect and supine are helpful to document flexibility of a rigid deformity. Specialized imaging studies (CT scan, MRI, bone scan) are used as required.

Patient Information
Kyphosis is a forward rounding of your upper back (thoracic spine). Some rounding is normal, but the term "kyphosis" usually refers to an exaggerated rounding, more than 40 to 45 degrees. This deformity is also called round back or hunchback.
