Characteristics and mechanical mechanisms of intervertebral disc degeneration in old thoracolumbar fractures with kyphosis: clinical observations and finite element analyses
Patients with OTLFK exhibit higher-grade disc degeneration concentrated in the thoracolumbar segment. Abnormal mechanical stress may contribute to this degeneration, highlighting the importance of managing stress in kyphotic deformities.
