Cervical kyphotic deformity correction using 360-degree reconstruction.

30 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVE: The authors report on their experience with cervical sagittal deformity correction using 360-degree reconstruction. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: A paucity of literature exists concerning 360-degree approaches for the correction of cervical ... Read more...

The effect of anterior spinal fusion on spinal canal development in an immature porcine model.

29 Jun 2009 STUDY DESIGN: Experimental study. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether anterior spine fusion in the immature porcine spine has an adverse effect on the development of spinal canal. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Neurocentral cartilage (NCC) is located in ... Read more...

Surgical simulation of circumferential osteotomy and correction of cervico-thoracic kyphoscoliosis for an irreducible old C6-C7 fracture dislocation.

24 May 2009 BACKGROUND: Many different surgical procedures have been employed in the treatment of fracture dislocation at the middle to lower cervical spine. However, consistent protocols and procedures have not been fully established for the surgical ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Kyphosis'

Definition: Deformities of the SPINE characterized by an exaggerated convexity of the vertebral column. The forward bending of the thoracic region usually is more than 40 degrees. This deformity sometimes is called round back or hunchback.
