slouching too much can be just as bad or worse. It usually occurs in adolescents, and girls develop it more often than boys. This is different from scoliosis, another

The Cobb angle, which is named after the American orthopedic surgeon John Robert Cobb, was originally used to measure coronal plane deformity on antero-posterior plain radiographs in the classification of scoliosis. It has subsequently been adapted to classify sagital plane deformity, especially in the...
This study aimed to characterize global sagittal alignment in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) with normal kyphosis (NTK, kyphosis > 10°) and with thoracic hypokyphosis (THK, kyphosis < 10°), before and after posterior spinal fus

A retrospective study.To investigate whether proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) or obvious proximal junctional angle (PJA) changes in the sagittal plane develops following short fusion in children younger than 10 years of age with congenital scoliosis, and to investigate the possible risk factors.PJK ...
It uses 38 radiologic digital images from 19 patients that were surgically treated for scoliosis. It has concluded that there was a good reproducibility and agreement in using the first and second vertebrae above the UIV to measure the PJK angle.Sacramento-Domínguez...
