A member asked:
70 degrees kyphosis what's the risk and complications of correct surgery? and if the kyphosis don't get worsen is it need surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Recommendation : If you really have 70 degree of kyphosis at age of 19 years you better go to surgery. It can prevent lung and heart problems in your future. Risk of complications still less significant than risk of development other problems : lung , heart, vascular.
