Abstract
Results Conservative treatment was indicated in 393 patients. 27% of patients do not accept the proposed treatment or interrupt it spontaneously. 23% of patients have a physiological angulation less than 44° at the end of treatment. 43% of patients were reviewed two years after removal of the brace. The initial kyphosis angle was 60.5°. The final angulation 2 years after removal of the brace was 41°. Among the 262 patients who performed the full treatment: All patients who had pain before treatment were relieved of that pain after treatment began. 79% were fully corrected with final angulation 55° and can be considered as treatment failures. In total, 222 patients were reviewed more than 10 years after removal of the brace. The angle remains stable in 21 cases.
Highlights
Unlike scoliosis, there is no alteration in respiratory function with hyperkyphosis [1]
A retrospective study was presented at the SOSORT Montreal [3]
The good results observed were complemented by a prospective study performed on our entire database of orthopedic medicine between 1998 and 2007
