COMPARING RADIOLOGICAL OUTCOMES OF SHARP AND ROUND KYPHOSIS PATIENTS
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2016, Vol 27, Issue 3
Abstract
Study Design: Retrospective, radiological and clinical analysis of patients with sharp and round thoracic and thoracolumbar kyphosis. Methods: Whole spine anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of patients with thoracic and thoracolumbar sharp and round kyphosis were obtained before surgery and at the final follow-up. The pelvic and spinal parameters were measured. Results: 40 patients with kyphosis were included. Mean age was 19.6 and mean follow up period was 26.4 months. Patients divided into two groups as: 20 patients with sharp kyphosis (mean age: 20.1) and 20 with round kyphosis (mean age: 19.6). There was not significant difference for patient age, follow up period and risser scores between two groups. (p > 0,05). Conclusion: In patients with increased thoracal kyphosis with changed pelvic parameters, surgical correction and instrumentation must include both thoracal and lumbar spine.
