Meanings of kyphotic deformity in English

Among the prevalent forms of adult spinal deformity are residual adolescent idiopathic and degenerative scoliosis, kyphotic deformity, and spondylolisthesis.

None of the patients had recurrence of the disease or developed anterior element involvement or kyphotic deformity during the follow-up period.

Summary of background data: Decompression of burst fractures and reduction of kyphotic deformity are facilitated by the anterior approach to the spine.

Method: Forty consecutive patients with spine fractures underwent surgery for anterior decompression, reduction of kyphotic deformity, and stabilization by grafting and instrumentation.

This article focuses on clinical and radiographic evaluation of spinal deformity in the adult population, particularly scoliosis and kyphotic deformities.
