Scheuermann's disease

A post-operative X-ray of a 22-year-old male with Scheuermann's disease. After a 13-level spinal fusion to correct the excessive curvature, the patient now presents a normal degree of kyphosis, with a minimal loss of flexibility.

Scheuermann's disease (/ˈʃuːərmən/, though very often mispronounced as 'Sherman') is a self-limiting skeletal disorder of childhood. It is also known as Scheuermann's kyphosis (since it results in kyphosis), Calvé disease, and idiopathic juvenile kyphosis of the spine. It is named after Holger Werfel Scheuermann. Scheuermann's disease describes a condition where the vertebrae grow unevenly with respect to the sagittal plane; that is, the posterior angle is often greater than the anterior. This uneven growth results in the signature "wedging" shape of the vertebrae, causing kyphosis.
