A 15-year-old girl underwent a rare Kyphoscoliosis spine surgery.
Her case was extremely complicated. The Spine surgery went on for about four hours and was performed by Doctor and his surgical team.
The surgical team was able to fix 70 percent of the girl's deformity.
Kyphoscoliosis is a spinal deformity where body structure is affected due to the abnormal curvature of the vertebral column.
The girl had been suffering from the defect since birth and with time, her condition became more critical. Her condition had left her completely bed-ridden with restricted movement.
It was a very complicated case of developmental spinal defect where the patient was in debilitating condition with major movement issues. The patient was taken for Spine surgery after briefing the patient's family about details of the procedure.

The doctor explained how difficult and complicated a surgery it was.
The corrective surgery needed 15 screws bolted on her spine to restore the curvature. After hours of intensive surgery, the spine curvature of the girl has returned to near normal range. These types of corrective procedure require one year of follow-up post-surgery.

Kyphoscoliosis is not only caused due to birth defects but is also a product of hereditary factors, non-symmetrical length of legs, poor posture or neuromuscular issues like cerebral palsy (CP) or muscular dystrophy.
