Abstract:
The bony spur formation without degenerative change in the lumbar spines in the young age group is quite interesting and not uncommon. This bony spur is different from the degenerative spur in the old age group in shape and mechanism of formation. The authors analyzed 111 patients with such posterior lumbar bony spur for recent 3 years and 9 months. The authors concluded that posterioly located Schmorl's node is a main cause of the bony spur without degenerative change at lumbar region. The authors advocated 'Juvenile spur' as a new disease entity.
