A study was performed to evaluate the presence of degenerative joint disease (DJD) in idiopathic adolescent scoliosis (IAS) and correlate DJD with biomechanic factors. The average age of the subjects was 19 years (range, 12-30). Osteophytes reflecting the presence of degenerative joint disease occurred in apophyseal and/or intervertebral joints of 74% of 100 subjects. Osteophytes were correlated with curve angle and apical rotation. Compression forces are of pathogenic significance in the localization of osteophytes in IAS. IAS can serve as a naturally occurring prototype for the study of the influence of biomechanic factors on the pathogenesis of DJD.
进行了一项研究，以评估特发性青少年脊柱侧凸（IAS）中是否存在退行性关节病（DJD），并将DJD与生物力学因素相关联。受试者的平均年龄为19岁（范围12 - 30岁）。在100名受试者中，74%的人在关节突和/或椎间关节出现了反映退行性关节病的骨赘。骨赘与侧弯角度和顶椎旋转相关。在IAS中，压缩力在骨赘定位方面具有致病意义。IAS可作为研究生物力学因素对DJD发病机制影响的自然发生的原型。
