Abstract
Scheuermann's disease is considered a kyphoscoliotic process of specific segments of the vertebral column expanding on the original definition of thoracic hyperkyphosis. More important for prognosis than the description of anomalies of single vertebrae is the competent assessment of static imbalance. Because of lacking long-term results no strategies for treatment can be recommended today. Conservative as well as surgical therapies are laborious and their success often rather limited.
