The new direction in study of spine osteochondropathy pathogenesis was worked out from the point of systemic approach. The disease is considered as continuous dysplastic-dystrophic process. The base of this process is a structural anomaly of the end-plates of vertebral body that changes morphogenesis of the vertebral segment. Subsequent clinical course is determined by anatomic-biomechanic characteristics of the affected zone, peculiarities of spine configuration in the saggital plane as well as by the variants of disorders in vertebral body shape formation.
