The thoracolumbar spine is the anatomical frontier where the thoracic spinal region meets the lumbar spinal region.he lumbar spine, on the other hand, is the place where disc degeneration and spinal arthritis are almost universal in human adults. The lower back must constantly bend and flex, carrying huge loads of stress which obvious wear down the vertebrae and intervertebral discs as part of their normal lifespans.
Thoracolumbar scoliosis occurs more often in females than in males. Thoracolumbar scoliosis may occur in women during pregnancy. Treatment for thoracolumbar scoliosis depends on both the cause and the severity of the curve. Scoliosis is a disorder characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine. treatment option for more severe cases is surgery. During thoracolumbar scoliosis surgery, the bones that are curved are attached to straight metal rods. Over time, the bones will fuse together and the spine will become straight.
