Abstract: Objective To explore clinic effect analysis of improved V-shaped osteotomy to correct thoracolumbar kyphosis. Methods A total of 64 patients with thoracolumbar kyphosis were divided into two groups, traditional group and improved group, the traditional surgery group of 30 patients underwent the traditional V-shaped osteotomy, includ-ing 20 males and 10 females with an age range of 45 to 68 years. Improved surgery group of 34 patients underwent the improved V-shaped osteotomy, including 22 males and 12 females with an age range of 53 to 65 years. Perioperative complications and Cobb angle of kyphosis were compared between two groups. Results The improved group and tradi-tional group in correction Cobb of kyphosis had no obvious difference(P>0.05), the incidence of postoperative gastroin-testinal complications in improved group was obviously lower than traditional group with statistical difference(P<0.05). Conclusion The improved V-shaped osteotomy surgery can correct thoracolumbar kyphosis with cobb angle< 80o and the gastrointestinal complications and vascular events can be significantly reduced.
