Hilus pulmonis as the center of gravity for AS thoracolumbar kyphosis

European Spine Journal, 2013
The sagittal vertical axis (SVA) is a meaningful measurement and widely used for evaluating sagittal balance, and is considered a design standard for surgery, including most ankylosing spondylitis (AS) kyphotic deformity planning. However, recent research indicates that the C7 plumb line is actually not the center of gravity (CG) line.

Traumatic Kyphosis of the Thoracolumbar Spine

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1977
The rationale of acute and chronic orthopedic management of traumatic throacolumbar kyphosis is determined by the type and location of the injury. The performance of laminectomy is condemned due to its historical failure in both the acute and chronic phase and its violation of simple mechanical principles.

Intraobserver and interobserver reliabilty of measures of kyphosis in thoracolumbar fractures

The Spine Journal, 2009
Consensus documents have recently been developed enumerating the radiographic parameters thought to be most valid in the clinical evaluation of patients with thoracolumbar fractures.The objective of this study was to assess the measurement reliability of plain X-rays, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and their inter ...

Surgery Planning in AS Thoracolumbar Kyphosis

2019
A thoracolumbar kyphosis is the most common deformity in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). It causes difficulty in standing, walking, looking horizontally, and so on. How do spine surgeons make surgery planning bring better healthrelated quality of life (HRQOL) to the kyphosis?
