In most cases of spinal injury there is a homogeneous disorder, the origin of which Schanz explains by comparing the spine to a tube filled with a viscous fluid. If an injury affects the wall of this tube, then, due to pressure, a wave is generated in its contents, spreading to both ends of the tube; if the height of this wave exceeds a certain value, the contents of the tube are injured; the tube itself is also damaged at the point where the rounded top of the wave touches it.
