چکیده
Methods and materials Since 1999, 110 patients were admitted for conservative treatment of Scheuermann juvenile kyphosis. The number of out-patient treatments were not accessible. Four patients (4% of hospitalized patients) underwent surgical treatment. The age of surgery was 16, 16, 17, and 18 years respectively. The sagittal thoracic T4-T12 Cobb angle was 80°, 85°, 80°, and 100° respectively. The level was middle thoracic. The reasons for surgery were the following: back pain not alleviated with conservative therapy, and deformity unacceptable for the patient.
