Abstract
This conceptual paper formulates basic postulates for various types of kyphotic and kyphoscoliotic deformities of the spine, their definitions, biomechanical features, and classification. Various anterior surgical interventions, including spinal cord decompression, with or without posterior instrumentation, are substantiated from a three-dimensional point of view. Specific aspects of preoperative examination and postoperative management of these patients are described.
