25 Ιαν 2012 · A costoplasty, also called thoracoplasty, is a separate procedure to the spinal fusion, which can reduce the appearance of the “rib hump” that is most often associated with thoracic curves. A costoplasty will usually involve the removal of sections of several ribs that protrude – in my case my surgeon removed four sections of rib – ouch!!
25 Σεπ 2020 · In this study, we describe our modified thoracoplasty method for correction of a rib hump deformity, which was designed to improve the thoracic mobility in patients with severe, rigid, thoracic scoliosis.
Shoulder and rib humps are a result of the rotation of the spine, not the curve. You would need a MRI for a precise rotational measurement. Use that for baseline (if can't, buy a scolimeter on Amazon $25). Short of surgery, schroth therapy is your best bet at settling the hump down some.
A complementary surgical procedure your surgeon may recommend is called thoracoplasty. This is a procedure to reduce the rib hump that affects most scoliosis patients with a thoracic curve. It may also be done to obtain bone grafts from the ribs instead of the pelvis, regardless of whether a rib hump is present.
12 Αυγ 2024 · Background. Razorback deformity with stiff thoracic scoliosis creates a complex three-dimensional deformity. Posterior spinal fusion (PSF) and thoracoplasty can correct rib hump deformity and improve patient satisfaction. However, conventional thoracoplasty may impair pulmonary function and increase complications.
13 Ιουν 2016 · Thoracoplasty can be used as part of both posterior and anterior spinal surgical procedures. The technique has also been used to address the rib hump deformity without spinal fusion and to address residual chest wall deformity in a previously fused spine.
25 Σεπ 2020 · Razor back deformity is one of the most noticeable problems of severe scoliosis. Thoracoplasty has been reported to be a useful approach to correct the rib hump deformity.
