Reconstructive spine surgery aims to restore proper alignment and stability of the spine after deformity, trauma, or degeneration. True balance involves correction in all three planes—coronal (side-to-side), sagittal (front-to-back), and axial (rotational). Achieving this balance helps reduce pain, improve posture, and enhance overall function. Advanced surgical techniques and precise planning allow surgeons to realign the spine safely and effectively. Dr. Han Jo Kim specializes in complex reconstructive procedures that restore balance, mobility, and quality of life.

Chin-on-chest deformity is a rare spinal condition where severe cervical spine curvature causes the chin to rest on the chest, affecting posture, mobility, and quality of life. This can result from advanced cervical deformities, neuromuscular disorders, or degenerative changes. Surgical correction, often involving spinal osteotomies and fusion, can restore alignment, improve function, and reduce pain. Early evaluation by a spine specialist is crucial for determining the best treatment plan and achieving optimal outcomes. With expert surgical care, patients can regain both mobility and confidence.

Adult degenerative scoliosis occurs over time as the spine’s discs and joints wear down, often causing pain and reduced mobility. Idiopathic scoliosis, on the other hand, usually develops during adolescence with no known cause. Adult scoliosis often affects posture and can lead to nerve compression, whereas idiopathic scoliosis may progress silently until curves become noticeable. Treatment approaches differ: adults may benefit from pain management, physical therapy, or spinal fusion, while younger patients often start with bracing or monitoring. Dr. Han Jo Kim specializes in both adult and adolescent scoliosis, providing personalized care and advanced surgical options when needed.
