چکیده

Kyphosis is traditionally described as an excessive curvature of the thoracic spine, often attributed to structural and biomechanical abnormalities. However, emerging evidence suggests that biological and molecular mechanisms also contribute to its development and progression. This narrative mini-review explores the underlying biological factors associated with kyphosis, including vertebral growth plate ...
