Congenital Kyphosis Picture

Complete list of fracture information

In some infants, the spinal column does not develop properly while the fetus is still
in the womb. The bones may not form as they should. Several vertebrae may be fused
together. Either of these abnormal situations may cause progressive kyphosis as the child
grows. Surgical treatment may be needed at a very young age. This can maintain a more
normal spinal curve. Consistent follow-up is required to monitor any changes.

We do not have access to a picture of Congenital Kyphosis. This is a
picture of scoliosis. It is similar to Kyphosis in that the spine is curved.
In Kyphosis the spine does not curve as much and the curve is outward toward
the back.
