"Alignment is satisfactory with preservation of thoracic kyphosis" indicates that the spinal alignment is acceptable while maintaining the natural curvature of the thoracic spine, which is the upper and mid-back region. This suggests that there are no significant deformities or misalignments affecting the thoracic area, allowing for proper posture and function. Preserving thoracic kyphosis is important for overall spinal biomechanics and can help prevent issues such as pain or mobility limitations.
Either Scoliosis or Kyphosis. Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine, primarily in the thoracic region. Kyphosis is the forward bending of the thoracic region, the "round back" deformity.
The term kyphosis, refers to an abnormal and exaggerated rounding of the spine. To use an example, the Hunchback of Notre Dame had kyphosis. Kyphosis refers to the normal convex curvature of the spine as it occurs in the thoracic and sacral regions.

kyphosis
Kyphosis is an excessive outward curvature of the spine, typically occurring in the thoracic region. It can result in a rounded or hunched back posture. Treatment options for kyphosis may include physical therapy, bracing, or surgery, depending on the severity and underlying cause.
We all have a kyphosis in our thoracic spine...it is the normal curve. As such, your question likely needs more detail.
Kyphosis
Kyphosis is one, it is an excessive curvature of the thoracic spine.
Is juvenile kyphosis or juvenile osteochondrosis resulting in a malformed thoracic and lumbar spine.
The spinal segments that have a kyphotic curve are the thoracic and sacral regions. The thoracic spine displays a natural kyphosis, which is a convex curvature that helps accommodate the ribcage and support respiratory function. The sacral region also exhibits a kyphotic curve, contributing to the overall shape of the spine and its alignment with the pelvis.
Marfan patients may develop kyphosis either in the upper (thoracic) spine or the lower (lumbar) spine.
Kyphosis is an excessive outward curvature of the thoracic spine, causing a rounded or hunched posture. Scoliosis, on the other hand, is a lateral deviation or sideways displacement of the vertebral column, resulting in an S or C-shaped curve.
