Very often the settling of the superior parts of the spine over the tubercularly destroyed vertebral bodies is extremely slow and insignificant, so that sometimes, with the destruction of 4 or even more vertebrae in a row, kyphosis almost or even completely does not develop The reason lies in the lively transformation processes that adapt the bone system to the altered mechanical conditions.
