Post-laminectomy Kyphosis

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1977
Post-laminectomy spinal deformity occurs in 50% of children undergoing laminectomies for cord tumors. Kyphosis is the most frequent deformity found. The integrity of the facet joints appears to be one of the most important factors in the development of this kyphosis. More children are surviving after treatment of these tumors and a pessimistic attitude
