kyphosis


Explanation:
I also searched "kyphotic deformation", but too many of the references appear to be translations. I think it would be more simple, and more English, to simply say "Kyphosis".

I should add that kyphosis implies spinal ("dorsal") deformation, so it would be redundant to add that.
