Type of Pediatric orthopedics

Kyphosis

Kyphosis is an abnormal excessive curvature at the top of the spine causing a hump or rounding of the upper back

It may also be caused by a congenital birth or postural as a result of a certain sitting position the person is used to, and this often happens in the teenage years Or secondary to Scheuermann disease that causes kyphosis.

In cases of congenital kyphosis, the patients often need surgery to treat it, but no treatments needed other than an exercise in the postural type, and in case of severe pain and severe curvature in Scheuermann’s disease surgery may be needed.
