Thoracic hyperkyphosis, or loss of lumbar lordosis, is often equated with osteoporosis because vertebral fractures are assumed to be a major causative factor. However, recent evidence suggests that up to one-half of the patients with hyperkyphosis have no evidence of underlying vertebral fracture. The shape characteristics of the intervertebral discs and their role in determining kyphotic curvature have been investigated. The spinal sagittal parameters and segmental disc angles of elderly subjects were examined during a longitudinal follow-up.
