What is Gibbus or Kyphotic Deformity? 

Gibbus deformity, also known as kyphotic deformity, is a spinal condition characterized by a sharp, localized angulation at a single vertebral level. This structural abnormality creates an internal obstruction similar to a “speed breaker bump” within the spinal canal, potentially leading to reduced spinal cord conduction and, in some cases, spinal cord damage. The condition can arise due to developmental factors such as congenital kyphosis or hemivertebra, as well as acquired causes like fractures, infections (such as tuberculosis), or other spinal injuries
