What is the difference between kyphosis and hyperkyphosis/?

Kyphosis is NOT normal curvature of spine.

Some degree of curvature to the spine is normal. The term "kyphosis" is usually applied to the curve that results in an exaggerated "round-back." A variety of disorders may be responsible for this condition.

HYPERKYPHOSIS is end stage of Kyphosis where vertebral bodies start getting fused anteroposteriorly.

Kyphosis is used to describe the normal curve of the thoracic spine. Sometimes, adolescents may develop an excessive degree of kyphosis, called hyperkyphosis.
