Abstract:
The association of a low back pain and kyphosis in children has not a unique diagnosis. A type of fracture of lumbar spine in the child simulates Scheuermann's disease. As in Scheuermann's disease, a traumatic event in sport is frequently associated with the onset of symptoms. But the location of intraspongious herniation to the anterior margin of vertebral body signs the fracture of lumbar spine.
