High risk surgery: Corrective surgery for high angle kyphosis carries a high risk of complications. Your spine care team of providers will answer your personal and specific surgical risk and complication questions. It sounds like they are trying to tell you that the risks outweigh the benefit. A referral to another spine deformity specialist is always possible.
