Abstract

Scheuermannʼs kyphosis is a spinal deformity associated with an increase in thoracic kyphosis due to the growth spurt which occurs in the prepubertal and adolescent periods, Hyperkyphosis, hyperlordosis, apparent gibosity in forward bending, hamstring stiffness or contracture and pain are the general characteristics of the disease. It is a progressive and symptomatic deformity. Decision making in Scheuermannʼs kyphosis depends on the severity of the deformity, age of the patient and co morbidities related to the disease. According to evidence based studies single physical therapy is unable to correct the deformity. There is no consensus on the indications of the surgical treatment of the disease. There is an ongoing debate whether the treatment of the deformity is cosmetic or vital in the absence of neurologic deterioration. The aim of this review study is to make Scheuermannʼs kyphosis more understandable via distribution of our experience under the light of the current literature data and serve for an ideal treatment algorithm.

Özet

Scheuermann kifozu, puberte öncesi gelişen ve adölesan dönemdeki büyüme patlaması ile daha da belirginleşerek torakal kifozda artış ile seyreden bir omurga deformitesidir. Hastalık, genellikle normal torakal kifozda ve lomber lordozda artış, öne eğilme ile daha da belirginleşen kamburluk, hamstringlerde gerginlik veya kontraktür ve genellikle ağrı ile seyreder. Deformite ilerleyicidir ve hastalığın seyri sırasında semptomatik bir hal alır. Scheuermann kifozunda tedavi kararı deformitenin şiddetine, hastanın yaşına ve eşlik eden semptomlara göre verilir. Scheuermann kifozu olan hastalarda tek başına fizik tedavi uygulamanın deformitenin düzelmesi yönünde bir etkisi olduğu yapılan çalışmalarda gösterilememiştir. Hastalığın cerrahi tedavisi ile ilgili endikasyonlar açısından ise tam bir görüş birliği yoktur. Deformiteye bağlı nörolojik statüde bozulmanın yokluğunda Scheuermann kifozunun tedavisinin kozmetik bir cerrahi mi yoksa yaşamsal bir tedavi mi olacağı konusundaki süregelen tartışma da halen devam etmektedir. Bu derleme çalışmasının amacı, Scheuermann kifozunun tedavisi ile ilgili güncel literatür bilgileri ışığında kendi klinik tecrübelerimizi de aktararak hastalığın daha iyi anlaşılmasını sağlamak ve ideal bir tedavi algoritması oluşumuna katkıda bulunmaktır.
