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.
休曼氏青少年驼背可被视为椎体骨软骨病的一种形式。尽管病因尚不清楚，但最终结果是生长板软骨中椎体生长紊乱。驼背增加对矢状面畸形的生物力学影响，尤其是在正在生长的儿童中，会加剧这种畸形。
