Posterior Vertebral Column Resection (pVCR) for Severe Thoracolumbar Kyphosis in Patients With Achondroplasia.

pVCR can offer a good correction for TLK and improve neurological function with extensive laminectomies in ACH patients. But the morbidity of surgical complications is relatively high. Therefore, it is a reserved surgical option for severe TLK in ACH patients by experienced spinal surgeons, especially with apical markedly hypoplastic vertebrae.
