Özet
Scheuermann kyphosis is defined as thoracic kyphosis with an angle greater than 45° in association with wedging of an angle greater than 5° in 3 consecutive vertebrae. Hyperextension casts and bracing are used in the treatment of patients with incomplete skeletal maturation. However, conservative treatment is not efficient in kyphotic patients with an angle greater than 70°. In this study results of the patients performed posterior surgical treatment due to Scheuermann kyphosis between 2005 and 2009 were evaluated. In conclusion, fusion performed with posterior transpedicular screws is one of the alternative choices in the surgical treatment of Scheuermann kyphosis (>70°). © Gülhane Askeri Ti{dotless}p Akademisi 2012.
