  • Title: Vertebral osteochondrosis (Scheuermann's kyphosis).
    Author: Bradford DS.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1981; (158):83-90. PubMed ID: 7273530.
    Abstract:
    Scheuermann's juvenile kyphosis may be considered a form of vertebral osteochondrosis. Although the etiology remains unknown, the ultimate effect is a disorderliness of vertebral growth in the growth plate cartilage. The biomechanical effects of increased kyphosis on saggital plane deformity, especially in a growing child, serve to aggravate this deformity.
