Nisam uspjela naci ime ovog deformiteta na nasem jeziku, pa Vam nudim ovu opisnu formulaciju. (Nadajmo se da ce koleginica Lirka imati pravo rjesenje.)

Ocigledno se radi o iskrivljenju kicme (grbavosti) koja nastaje nakon operativnog zahvata na kicmi (metodom spinalne fuzije).

Evo linka:http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00890227

A evo i kraceg objasnjenja:
"...One method includes an all open posterior spinal fusion (large incision with opening of the muscles); this is also known as a traditional technique. The second method involves an open surgery for the portion of the spine requiring a fusion except the very top area, where minimally invasive technique (smaller incision and without opening of the muscles) is used.
One possible side effect of either method for surgical repair is a condition called proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK). PJK occurs in the form of fracture at the top vertebra involved in the surgery or as a loss of correction of spinal alignment achieved, through gradual bending forward of the spine over time."
