A Classification for Kyphosis Based on Column Deficiency, Curve Magnitude, and Osteotomy Requirement

open access: yesJournal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American volume, 2018
Background: There is a lack of a classification system providing uniformity in description and guiding management decisions for kyphotic spinal deformities.

How Does Pulmonary Function Change in Patients With Severe Thoracic Scoliosis 2 Years After One‐Stage Low‐Grade Osteotomy and Posterior Corrective Surgery?

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
One‐stage low‐grade osteotomy surgery with apical region correction and global balance significantly improved pulmonary function in severe thoracic scoliosis patients at 2‐year follow‐up. Increased thoracic height is regarded as the key correlating factor.

Clinical Characteristics and a New Classification System of Mono‐Segmental Thoracic and Lumbar Nonfusion in Patients With Ankylosing Spondylitis

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
In regard to the mono‐segmental thoracic and lumbar nonfusion in patients with ankylosing spondylitis, we built a new classification system based on CT and MRI data and describe its clinical distribution characteristics and occurrence risk factors for the first time. ABSTRACT Study Design Retrospective cohort study.

Cervical Deformity Patients Have Baseline Swallowing Dysfunction but Surgery Does Not Increase Dysphagia at 3 Months: Results From a Prospective Cohort Study. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Study designProspective cohort study.ObjectivesMost studies of dysphagia in the cervical spine have focused on a degenerative patient population; the rate of dysphagia following surgery for cervical deformity (CD) is unknown.

Aging and Kyphosis [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences, 2003
IN the recent article by de Boer and colleagues, mice carrying a targeted mutation in the XPD gene, which is mutated in the human disorder trichothiodystrophy (TTD) and encodes a DNA helicase that is involved in DNA repair, were found to exhibit osteoporosis and kyphosis as symptoms of premature aging (1).

Selection of the Lowest Instrumented Vertebra in Lenke‐5 AIS: A Case Study With at Least 5‐Year Follow‐Up

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
While distal fusion to LTV‐1 on upright radiographs yields satisfactory outcomes in a certain proportion of AIS patients, we hypothesized that the relaxed spinal posture in supine position could facilitate a more conservative fusion strategy. This study therefore investigated the utility of supine imaging for LIV selection in Lenke‐5 AIS.

Surgical management of posttraumatic thoracolumbar Kyphosis: A review

open access: yesJournal of Family Medicine and Primary Care
Kyphosis is a condition in which there is a curvature of the spine that causes a bowing of the back, which in turn leads to slouching posture or hunchback. There are several types of Kyphosis, including posttraumatic Kyphosis, which usually occurs in the

Cervical Kyphotic Deformity after Laminoplasty in Patients with Cervical Ossification of Posterior Longitudinal Ligament with Normal Sagittal Spinal Alignment

open access: yesSpine Surgery and Related Research, 2018
Background: Preoperative cervico-thoracic kyphosis and cervical regional positive imbalance are the risk factors for postoperative cervical kyphosis after expansive laminoplasty (ELAP).
