An anterior osteophyte is a type of bone spur that occurs on the front part of a vertebrae. Osteophytic lipping causes the joint space to narrow which can put pressure on nearby nerves.
When bone comes into contact with bone wear damage occurs in the area of contact so the body tries to rebuild the bone where it is damaged. the problem is however that you end up with little bits of bone growing into areas where they do more harm then good. this is called osteophyte lipping.

what is anterior osteophytic lipping
Lipping occurs in the vertebrae as humans age. Lipping of the vertebrae is the formation of bone between the vertebrae, commonly known as bone spurs.
what is hypertrophic osteophyte formation
What I a anterior endplay osteophyte and what are the treatment method
Osteophytes are often called bone spurs. These bony protrusions form in and around joints, often causing pain and limiting range of motion. Many osteophytes are identified by their shape such as osteophytic ridging, spurring, or lipping. However, each osteophyte has a unique shape based on the cause and location.
The endplate is part of the cartilage of the intervertebral discs. Lipping is bulging of this area of the disc due to degeneration or scoliosis.
That depends on where it is
I would like to ask meaning of thoracic disc margins have earlydegeneratitive lipping?
