Levoscoliosis is the term that describes a spinal curve to the left. Thoracolumbar scoliosis is a curvature that includes vertebrae in the both portions of the spine.

What is thoracolumbar spondylosis?
Thoracolumbar spondylitis can be referred to as lumbar spondylitis or cervical spondylitis. Thoracolumbar refers to the lumbar or thoracic vertebrae. It is a form of arthritis due to age-related disease in joints and the spine.
What is mild levocurvature through the thoracolumbar region?
Scoliosis refers to an abnormal twisting of the spine. Rather than being in perfect alignment, the vertebrae are sometimes out of alignment relative to the vertebrae above and below them. When the vertebrae of the thoracic spine - the middle section of the spine where the ribs attach - can be seen to progressively twist to the left, the condition is called levoscoliosis.
Is thoracolumbar one word?
Yes. It is a single word. Rather than identifying either the thoracic or lumbar regions of the spine, it indicates a more general region including both areas.
Unfavorable ankylosis of the entire thoracolumbar spine?
Unfavorable ankylosis of the thoracolumbar spine means that your posture is in an unnatural position stemming from your middle, lower back. This could mean that you are stuck in a hunched or side leaning position.

What is a roto component of the thoracolumbar?
The roto component of the thoracolumbar region refers to the rotational movement and stability of the spine at the thoracic and lumbar junctions. This area is crucial for allowing the trunk to twist and turn while maintaining postural support. The thoracolumbar fascia and surrounding muscles, such as the obliques and multifidus, play important roles in facilitating this rotation and ensuring spinal integrity during movement. Proper function of these components is essential for activities that require torsional strength and flexibility.
What is the aponeurosis action origin insertion?
An aponeurosis is a large sheet of tendon. It depends on which one you are referring to as to origin and insertion. The thoracolumbar aponeurosis, for example, has many insertions, mainly on the latissimus dorsi muscle and its main origin is the spine and sacrum.

What is rotatory levoconvex scoliosis of the thoracolumbar spine?
Scoliosis refers to a curvature of the spine when looking at it from the front or the back (A to P, or P to A). This is very important, because the spine has normal curvatures when viewed from the side. The term scoliosis is used even when the curvature is mild. Normally a spine is straight when you look at it from front to back. It runs in the same direction that a necktie does. This particular curve, a levoconvex scoliosis of the thoracolumbar spine, runs from the low back area, maybe from the area where your belt would cross your low back (or lumbar spine) up to the mid-back, which is the area of your back that have ribs (or thoracic spine). The term rotatory means that the vertebrae making up this curvature are rotated so that their spinous processes are pointed towards the concavity, which is the right side in this case. Obviously, this question is regarding a radiology report, otherwise the term "rotatory" would not likely have been used. Hopefully, these x-rays were taken while the patient was standing (weight bearing films), otherwise they will not accurately depict the true curvature. Basically, films taken to assess/measure a scoliosis need to be taken with the patient standing up evenly on both feet.
