Abstract
Interpretation. Congenital block vertebrae do not result in rotational or translational hyper- or hypomobility at motion segments adjacent to the block. Whether the observed, significant height reduction of the caudally adjacent disc is caused by degeneration following the block formation cannot undoubtedly be concluded as the initial state is not known. Further longitudinal studies are needed to investigate this issue.
