They can cause secondary changes in other regions, such as the loss of thoracic kyphosis or cervical lordosis. These deformities should be addressed at an early age to prevent structural changes in compensatory curves.Rajat MahajanDepartment of Spine Services, Indian Spinal Injuries Centre, Vasant ...
However, the effects of various force configurations on the spinal curves in sagittal plane should also be considered. The aim of this study was to determine the efficiency of various force configurations on scoliotic, lordotic and kyphotic curves.MethodA 3d model of spine was developed based on...
The recovery ratio was 69%. All 14 presurgical lordotic curves remained lordotic. Fourteen of the 16 straight spines improved to a lordotic configuration. Using the Guigui method, the preoperative lordotic angle was corrected by approximately 9 degrees (mean preoperative of 9.89+/-1.13 degrees, ...
Methods:Eighty consecutive Lenke type 1 AIS patients with hypokyphotic curves who underwent posterior spinal fusion by one spine surgeon at a single institution were recruited. According to whether Ponte osteotomy was performed, the patients were divided into two groups. The preoperative, immediate, ...
Spinous processes were gripped and four strain steps of 4% were applied and held. Percent relaxation was calculated over each step, equilibrium load data were fit to an exponential equation, and a Kelvin model was fit to the load from all four curves. Failure testing was also performed. ...
As the word implies, in spine, it is used for sagittal spinal curves with anterior concavity. The normal spine has 2 areas physiologically aligned in kyphosis: the thoracic spine and the sacrum. Pathological kyphosis can be found in any part of the spine and can be due to a variety of ...
