Vertebral osteochondrosis (Scheuermann's kyphosis). 1981

D S Bradford

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.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007738 Kyphosis Deformities of the SPINE characterized by an exaggerated convexity of the vertebral column. The forward bending of the thoracic region usually is more than 40 degrees. This deformity sometimes is called round back or hunchback. Hyperkyphosis,Hyperkyphoses,Kyphoses
D001846 Bone Development The growth and development of bones from fetus to adult. It includes two principal mechanisms of bone growth: growth in length of long bones at the epiphyseal cartilages and growth in thickness by depositing new bone (OSTEOGENESIS) with the actions of OSTEOBLASTS and OSTEOCLASTS. Bone Growth
D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children

D012544 Scheuermann Disease A type of juvenile osteochondrosis affecting the fibrocartilaginous disc (INTERVERTEBRAL DISC) in the thoracic or thoracolumbar region of the SPINE. It is characterized by a forward concave SPINAL CURVATURE or KYPHOSIS.
