In , after examining the back of a year-old farmer, Holger Scheuermann described the presence of a stiff and painful kyphosis of the thoracic spine which was clinically and radiologically distinguishable from postural kyphosis. He called it “juvenile kyphosis dorsalis” and only much later would this entity come to be known as “Scheuermann's disease”.1,2 Since then, this disease has been the subject of great orthopaedic interest as the cause of pain and, more importantly, significant deformity, which in some cases can be progressive.3 In , Sorensen established the radiographic diagnosis of Scheuermann's kyphosis by the presence of anterior wedging greater than or equal to 5° in at least 3 consecutive vertebrae.4,5 Other characteristic findings include increased thoracic kyphosis, disc impingement and irregularities in the vertebral end plates with formation of intraspongious hernias (Schmorl nodes).3,4,6

There are only minor changes in quality of life in patients with Scheuermann’s disease
In the literature, patients suffering from Scheuermann’s disease (SD) have been reported to experience more back pain and other back-related constrains than the background population []. In addition, patients suffering from SD have been reported to experience more cosmetic problems [5] and a higher share than the background population experience psychological issues [6].
In SD as well as in many other diseases, the interest in assessing the patients’ perceived health status has increased in recent years. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) assessments have become a significant outcome parameter in the medical literature; and the Medical Outcome Study Short Form (SF) as well as the Medical Outcome Study Short Form (SF) have become widely accepted as reliable tools. Both the SF and the SF have been cross-validated by Gandek et al for assessment of HRQoL in European countries including Denmark [7].
The impact of SD on HRQoL in patients remains unclear. We have been unable to find publications on HRQoL measured by the SF or the SF in SD.
The aim of this study was to explore the HRQoL based on the SF in adult life in a group of patients with self-reported SD.
