What is it about?

Biomechanical drivers may be the main reason for the presence of large enthesophytes (bone spurs) at the EOP of young adults.

Why is it important?

The current findings represent an important research advance for two reasons: (i) they identify, quantify and report the EEOP phenomenon in young adults; and (ii) the prevalence of EEOP in the young adult population serves as an early warning to the development of further preventable poor posture-related conditions in the future. This later observation may be related to the growing concerns amongst researchers and societies pertaining to the increased use of hand-held technologies from early childhood, and may suggest that early prevention and intervention should be considered.
