Can my dowagers hump be reversed?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Dowager's hump (thoracic kyphosis) can be reversed, but entails a significant surgical procedure. It is a structural deformity, which does not respond to bracing or therapy. Surgical intervention to release the deformity, followed by corrective fusion, can be performed in correctly selected patients.

Good bone: Strong bone is a prerequisite to any correction attempt not for osteoporotic kyphosis.
