Paul Kramer, MD, a spine surgeon with Indiana Spine Group, recently had a case study 
featured on Spine Universe.
This case was a 17 year-old male patient, who sought medical treatment for pain in his back when he walked. The patient was diagnosed with developmental thoracolumbar kyphosis, also called congenital dislocation of the spine.
This case study highlights findings from the exam, diagnosis and provides and overview of the selected spine surgical treatment.The technical description of the spine surgery he underwent is " all posterior single-stage T10 to T12 vertebral column resection with expandable cage reconstruction, and a T7 to L2 posterior spinal fusion." Post-operatively, the patient has less spinal deformity, no longer has pain in his back and legs and is able to walk pain-free.
