Kyphosis refers to an abnormal, exaggerated forward rounding of the thoracic spine, leading to a visible humpback or structural posture deformity. This condition can stem from congenital developmental issues, Scheuermann's disease, or age-related osteoporotic wedge compression fractures.

A structural wedge resection performed to flexibly realign rigid hyper-kyphotic segments through structured osteotomy techniques.
Comprehensive internal realignments to secure sagittal biological balance and permanently alleviate neurological compression structures.

While mild flexible postural kyphosis responds perfectly to targeted posture training or orthotic bracing protocols, fixed structural deformities over 60 degrees require advanced micro-instrumented surgical realignments to balance the sagittal profile safely.
Scheuermann's kyphosis is a developmental condition where vertebrae wedge together forwardly. Surgery is recommended only if the curve exceeds 70 degrees, causes severe pain, or limits lung function.
As with all major reconstructions, risks include temporary nerve irritation or adjacent segment stress. However, intraoperative neuro-monitoring reduces structural neurological risks to less than 1%.
