It depends. Humpback is a common spinal deformation, which is a morphological change caused by thoracic kyphosis. Mainly due to back muscle weakness, relaxation and weakness. Humpback is the external manifestation of spinal deformation, which is mostly the symptom of some diseases, such as ankylosing spondylitis, vitamin D deficiency, adolescent humpback, spinal tuberculosis and so on. 1, primary disease treatment

If it is clear that patients have primary diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis, we should actively take corresponding treatment measures for the primary diseases.

2. Conservative therapy

The patient should lie on the hard bed, stretch his chest and back as much as possible when standing and sitting, and maintain a good posture. Avoid excessive bending or weight-bearing activities, strengthen back muscle exercise and limit the aggravation of hunchback.

3, bracket fixation

Thoracic kyphosis is large, when it exceeds 50, it can be fixed with bracket or plaster to correct the deformity as much as possible. When using passive fixation to correct deformity, we should pay close attention to its complications, such as soft tissue injury, over-correction, lateral curvature and so on. The fixing time with scaffold or plaster should not be less than 1 year.

4. Corrective exercises

The purpose is to strengthen the extensor dorsi and stretch the anterior thoracic ligament. It is difficult to achieve the ideal effect by relying solely on bonesetting.
