Scheuermann’s Kyphosis
摘要
Scheuermann’s kyphosis is a rigid deformity of the thoracic or thoracolumbar spine that usually has a benign natural history, especially in smaller curves (<70 degrees). Progressive curves (>70–75 degrees) can be associated with greater pain, deformity, and possible pulmonary dysfunction, and benefit from surgical correction, which results in improved patient-reported outcomes.
