Is it OK to have a significant kyphosis where my spine was fractured two years ago?
|
|
A significant kyphosis following spinal injury is called posttraumatic spinal deformity. Kyphosis is the most common of the deformities. Studies show that a kyphosis equal to or greater than 30 degrees is more likely associated with chronic pain and potential increase in neurological symptoms.
