These symptoms and abnormal spinal angulations regress after reduction mammoplasty operations. However, the effect of chronic mechanical stress caused by gigantomasty on the spinal degenerative process is not clear yet. In this study with computed tomography it is shown that degenerative spondylosis is more widespread and severe in patients with large breasts.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessOrthopedicsRehabilitationGigantomastyComputed tomographyDegenerative spondylosisBreast reduction surgeryIntervertebral discsThoracic spineBack-painColumnImpactMacromastiaDiseaseAdolescentAdultBreastChronic painFemaleFollow-up studiesHumansHypertrophyIntervertebral disc degenerationLow back painLumbar vertebraeMaleRetrospective studiesTomographyX-ray computedYoung adultArticle0004120638000132-s2.0-850303306591031103530528582838OrthopedicsRehabilitationGigantomastia; Methodology; NipplesAdultArticleBreast hyperplasiaComputer assisted tomographyDegenerative spondylosisDisease associationFemaleHumanIntervertebral disk degenerationMajor clinical studyMultidetector computed tomographyPriority journalRetrospective studySpondylosisAbnormalitiesAdolescentBreastChronic painComplicationFollow upHypertrophyIntervertebral disk degenerationLow back painLumbar vertebraMaleProceduresX-ray computed tomographyYoung adult
