Kyphotic Deformities of the Cervical Spine

Publication at First Faculty of Medicine |

Abstract

The development of a cervical kyphotic deformity can be associated with a degenerative disease, trauma, tumour, developmental anomaly and also a surgical procedure. Post-operative kyphosis can develop after both the anterior and posterior surgical approaches.

The deformity can also result from systemic diseases, such as ankylosing spondylitis or rheumatoid arthritis. The aim of the study was to make the clinical and radiographic evaluation of a group of patients with kyphotic deformity treated at our department.
