Kyphoscoliosis
Kyphoscoliosis is a complex deforming spinal disease, combining features of kyphosis (excessive forward curvature of the spine) and scoliosis (sideways curvature). This condition not only disrupts the aesthetics of posture but can also lead to serious health problems, including back pain, respiratory function impairment, and reduced quality of life.
What is kyphoscoliosis and how does it affect the body
Kyphoscoliosis develops as a result of various causes, including congenital anomalies, neuromuscular disorders, or injuries. The spinal curvature creates an asymmetric load on muscles, bones, and joints, leading to pain and limited mobility. In severe cases, the deformation can exert pressure on internal organs, reducing lung volume and complicating breathing.
According to research, about 2% of the population face various forms of scoliotic disorders, with 10–15% of patients with progressive forms diagnosed with kyphoscoliosis. If untreated, the progression of curvature can reach 5–7 degrees per year, especially during adolescence.
Modern approaches to treating kyphoscoliosis
Treatment of kyphoscoliosis depends on the degree of deformation and its impact on the patient's health. In mild and moderate cases, doctors may recommend conservative therapy, including physiotherapy, wearing orthopedic braces, and engaging in therapeutic physical activities. However, in severe cases, where the angle of curvature exceeds 50 degrees or internal organ functions are impaired, surgical intervention is indicated.
Modern spinal surgery offers minimally invasive and high-tech correction methods, for example:
- Transpedicular fixation system: use of special screws and rods to stabilize and straighten the spine.
- Spinal osteotomy: surgical removal of part of the vertebrae to restore the correct shape of the spinal axis.
- Robotic navigation systems: provide maximum precision during surgery, reducing the risk of damaging nerve structures and soft tissues.
According to data from the National Institute of Orthopedics in the USA, modern surgical methods can eliminate up to 80% of spinal deformity, improving patients' quality of life.
