A member asked:
Why nobody invented a better surgery to straighten up the spine for those who suffer with kyphosis after the age of 20? nobody wants titaniums in !
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good point: Hopefully someday they will. Maybe one day you will contribute to that development. All that being said, surgery for kyphosis has come a long way with many patients who undergo surgery getting remarkable correction and improvement in their quality of life. Thank you.
