Scheuermann's disease is a juvenile osteochondrosis of the spine. It is a disease of the
growth cartilage endplate, probably due to repetitive strain on the growth cartilage …

Study Design. A cross-sectional autopsy study. Objective. This study investigated the
prevalence of endplate lesions, classified them on the basis of morphological features, and …

Abstract Although Schmorl's nodes (SNs) are a common phenomenon in the normal adult
population, their prevalence is controversial and etiology still debatable. The objective was …

Study Design. A cross-sectional population-based magnetic resonance imaging study of
Schmorl nodes (SN) in the lumbar spine. Objective. To determine the prevalence and …

Background Schmorl's nodes (SN) were the first vertebral endplate defects described.
Debate continues about their epidemiology, physiopathology, and clinical significance. The …

Objective Schmorl's nodes (SN) are highly associated with lumbar disc degeneration (DD).
However, SN present with different morphologies/topographies that may be associated with …

Schmorl's nodes are the result of herniations of the nucleus pulposus into the adjacent
vertebral body and are commonly identified in both clinical and archaeological contexts. The …

Study Design. A cross-sectional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging study. Objective. To
classify and characterize endplate defects using routine lumbar MR images and to …

Purpose Vertebral endplate abnormalities may be associated with disc degeneration and,
perhaps, pain generation. However, consensus definitions for endplate findings on spine …
