To me the t spine is very interesting. i started looking up things on kyphosis aka humpback and found some very interesting information on http://www.spineuniverse.com/. Kyphosis can be found in adults and children. It is most common in the tspine however it can be found in the c spine as well. The kyphotic angle is severly exaggerrated compare to the normal kyphotic curve we all have. There are several causes of kyphosis and narrowing them down is done by mri, ct and being examined by a physician. The two kinds of kyphosis are : postural and structural. Postural is caused by bad posture leading to the change of curve inyour back over time. Structural kyphosis causes vary and can be helped or corrected by posture, surgeries,etc .The pictures shown are of people who have kyphosis. One is of a ct and another of a xray found on: www.eradiography.net
