Posterior Column Osteotomy (Ponte) for Hypo lordotic Lumbar 

Posterior column osteotomy
Posterior column osteotomy (PCO) is a surgical procedure that involves removing a section of bone from the posterior column of the spine to correct spinal deformities, such as scoliosis or kyphosis. This procedure allows for improved spinal alignment and can help relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
The term 'hypolordosis' has Greek roots with 'hypo' meaning 'under' and 'lordosis' meaning 'bending backwards'. If a person has hypolordosis of the cervical or lumbar spine, their spine becomes abnormally straight and can develop conditions known as military neck or flatback syndrome.
