This paper presents a review of 212 cases of Scheuermann's kyphosis treated with conservative management. A subsequent evaluation focused on positive parameters contributing to good outcome. Positive variables included combined treatment with body cast and brace. Also, exercise treatment produced acceptable results.

Additional details regarding surgical correction are also presented.

This paper provides a retrospective review of spine radiographs of 88 asymptomatic adolescents who were analyzed for regional and segmental sagittal spinal alignment. The results were compared to previously established data on asymptomatic adults and concluded that asymptomatic adolescents stand with a greater negative sagittal spinal balance than asymptomatic adults.
