Here, we report a case of camptocormia associated with Parkinson\u2019s disease.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Case description<\/jats:title><jats:p>A 70-year-old man with a 7-year history of Parkinson\u2019s disease presented with a fall injury that caused lower back pain for 3 months and was aggravated for 2 months. He had been diagnosed with a compression fracture after the fall and had undergone percutaneous kyphoplasty at a local hospital. MRI showed non-union of the L1 vertebra and compression fracture of L2. The patient underwent posterior osteotomy, canal decompression, and internal fixation of the T10-L3 intervertebral plate with bone graft fusion. Postoperative examination showed that the lumbar lordosis was corrected and sensation was restored in both lower extremities. However, after 1 month, the fixation was loosened and a correction surgery was performed at our hospital. At the most recent follow-up at 1.5 years, the patient was found to be in good general health and did not complain of lower back discomfort. He was also actively exercising according to the rehabilitation regimen and had resumed social life.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This is a rare case of camptocormia in a Parkinson\u2019s patient that highlights the need for careful evaluation of whether internal spinal fixation surgery is beneficial in such patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fsurg.2022.822015","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,29]],"date-time":"2022-06-29T05:05:01Z","timestamp":1656479101000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Surgical Correction of Kyphosis in Patients With Camptocormia Associated With Parkinson\u2019s Disease: A Case Report and Review of the Literature"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Guo-long","family":"Mei","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hui-ting","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yue-rong","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dun","family":"Wan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"145","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.2008.150011","article-title":"Camptocormia in Parkinson disease: an epidemiological and clinical study","volume":"80","author":"Tiple","year":"2009","journal-title":"J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"355","DOI":"10.1212\/01.wnl.0000171857.09079.9f","article-title":"Camptocormia: pathogenesis, classification, and response to therapy","volume":"65","author":"Azher","year":"2005","journal-title":"Neurology"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"725","DOI":"10.1016\/j.parkreldis.2013.04.001","article-title":"Motor and non-motor symptoms of 1453 patients with Parkinson\u2019s disease: prevalence and risks","volume":"19","author":"Yoritaka","year":"2013","journal-title":"Parkinsonism Relat Disord"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"368","DOI":"10.3171\/2018.4.JNS173032","article-title":"Surgical management of camptocormia in Parkinson\u2019s disease: systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"131","author":"Chan","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Neurosurg"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"364","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.2009.176198","article-title":"Surgical correction of kyphosis in patients with camptocormia due to Parkinson\u2019s disease: a retrospective evaluation","volume":"82","author":"Wadia","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"75","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp-2014-310049","article-title":"Camptocormia in Parkinson\u2019s disease: definition, epidemiology, pathogenesis and treatment modalities","volume":"87","author":"Srivanitchapoom","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"122","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clineuro.2015.04.022","article-title":"To operate or not?
