Urgent: How to judge the angle of kyphosis and take an X ray

The normal physiological curvature of the spine is: cervical anteriorly, thoracic posterior, lumbar anterior, sacral posterior, and caudal anterior.

According to the situation you described, kyphosis is suspected, which generally begins during the developmental period and gradually becomes obvious in the later stage, but X-ray is not required, and it is recommended to go to the nearest local hospital for thoracic and lumbar x-ray examination.

Hunchback, the problem lies in the spine, ankylosing spondylitis.

It's congenital!

The most severe spinal deformity in patients with myelomeningocele is congenital kyphosis, which occurs in about 10 percent. Kyphosis is usually present at birth and can make closure of the dural sac difficult. The curvature generally extends from the lower thoracic vertebrae to the sacral vertebrae, the apex of which is in the mid-lumbar segment, and the deformity usually progressively develops.

Kyphosis congenital kyphosis is ineffective with a brace** and usually requires surgical correction. The goal is not to achieve a normal spine, but to allow the patient to maintain balance while sitting without the need for upper limb and hand support.

** Other purposes are to increase the height of the lumbar spine in order to obtain space to accommodate abdominal organs and to improve respiratory function; Prevent pressure ulcers by reducing kyphosis. Spinal surgery in patients with myelomeningocele is significantly more complicated than idiopathic scoliosis. The most common complication is fusion failure, which has been reported to occur in up to 40 percent.

The incidence of postoperative infections has also been reported8.

Abnormal posture of the spine: kyphosis, lordosis, scoliosis.

If kyphosis is already 68 degrees, early surgery is recommended. Otherwise, the aggravation will be very fast, and the impact on height, postoperative function, and surgical risk will depend on the specific situation to determine the imitation of potato mintin. It's best to bring ** to the outpatient hand forest, and if you can't come, pass ** up.

Beijing **** Jianguo.

If the spine turns black, it may be a hunchback, a pot, or rickets.

The difficulty of the operation is not small, you have to look at your **, but we have done it at a much larger angle than yours, and we have also done it at 130 degrees. First of all, take a look at your ** well.
