已发表的关于椎体和椎管生长的研究局限于脊柱某些区域的选定特征。关于脊柱生长的信息的缺乏可归因于在活体中对整个脊柱进行纵向研究所固有的问题，以及难以获得用于横截面生长研究的合适的骨学材料。本研究分析了20名澳洲土著少年和112名成年人。本研究的独特之处在于，它提供了有关脊柱某些方面的信息，这些信息无法在活体中进行研究，并且将青少年系列的数据与同一种族群体成年人的相应数据进行了比较。虽然这些材料来自一个封闭的种族群体，但有理由相信，所描述的生长模式与更发达社区的人类模式相似。因此，一项关于澳大利亚土著人四肢的放射性骨化研究[ABBIE和ADDEY，1953]没有发现种族特征，另一项研究[KETTLE. 1900]表明，虽然澳大利亚土著儿童的体重增长小于澳大利亚白色儿童，但在身高增长方面没有显著差异。
Published studies on growth of the vertebral bodies and spinal canal are re stricted to selected features of certain regions of the spine. The paucity of informa tion about growth of the spine can be attributed to problems inherent in the con duct of longitudinal studies of the entire spine in the living, and the difficulty in obtaining suitable osteological material for a cross-sectional growth study. The present investigation is an analysis of 20 juvenile and 112 adult columns of the Australian aborigine. Unique features of the present study arc that it presents information on certain aspects of the spine that are not accessible to study in the living and the data of the juvenile series are compared with corresponding data for adults of the same ethnic group. Although the material is from a closed ethnic group there is reason to believe that the growth pattern described is similar to the patterns in humans of more developed communities. Thus, a radiological ossification study [ABBIE and ADDEY, 1953] of the extremities in the Australian aborigine revealed no ethnic peculiarities, and another study [KETTLE. 1900] showed that, although the weight increment in the Australian aboriginal children is less than in the white Australian children there is no significant difference in the height increment.
