There are two types of spinal deformity, lordosis and kyphosis,
and they are mutually exclusive at the same site. Lordosis is rotationally unstable and buckles to the side with growth and spinal flexion, producing scoliosis and changes in transverse plane geometry as secondary phenomena. Kyphosis is a uniplanar deformity arising behind the axis of spinal column rotation and it does not buckle.
