Sagittal/Coronal Thoracolumbar Deformity Treatment

Sagittal And Coronal Thoracolumbar And Cervical Deformities

The spine is a complex mechanism which serves many functions. It is important that it stays in good health, but the large area it spans exposes it to a variety of injuries.

One of the more frequently injured areas of the spine is the thoracolumbar, or where the mid and lower spine meet. Here, the spine can curve abnormally on two planes: the sagittal and coronal planes. Sagittal thoracolumbar deformities occur when the spine curves abnormally inward or outward. Coronal thoracolumbar deformities occur when the spine curves abnormally left or right.

Another important area of the spine to keep healthy is located in the neck. Injuries to this area is known as cervical deformities. Because of their location, these deformities can lead to complications with numerous bodily functions relating to the nervous system.
