Abstract:
The shape of thoracic physiological kyphosis was studied based on data obtained through the examination of 120 patients who had presented no complaints regarding thoracic spine. As a result, a quantitative description of a normal curvature for thoracic kyphosis was elaborated. The study addressed such issues as the impact of separate segments on the development of kyphosis, with the identification of relevant quantitative parameters. In addition, sex-related differences of the quantitative parameters describing the form of thoracic spine were determined. The study analyzed tendencies in the curvature transformation during the life period of 16-30 years of age.

Regions of the Vertebral Column
In an adult, the spine is subdivided into five regions: the cervical, the thoracic, the lumbar, the sacral, and the coccygeal region. The spine initially develops as a series of 33 vertebrae; after 20 years of age, the nine bones in the sacral region, five sacral, and four coccygeal bones fuse to form the...
