What does hypertrophic changes of joints of Luschka and zygapophyseal joints mean?
It can be hard to understand this medical language at times. Let's start as if you don't have a clue. The term hyper- means too much or above. So there is too much or an over-growth of bone around these joints. Luschka's joints are formed a hook shaped process located in the cervical region of the vertebral column between C3 and C7. The increased bone mass has pinched the nerve that exists the spinal cord. It can cause tingling down to the hand. See the link below for a good diagram: A zygapophysial joint or Z-joint is a synovial joint between the superior articular process of one vertebra and the inferior articular process of the vertebra directly above it. The increased bone mass has also caused problems here with bending the head forward and backward. See the link below for another diagram:
What kind of joint is found in the hip and the ankle?

What are hypertrophic degenerative changes superiorly in the talonavicular joint?
The talonavicular joint is part of the ankle. The hypertrophic degenerative changes would be the build up of extra tissue in the ankle. This can cause the joint to not flex the way it should.
What is hypertrophic changes of the ac joint?
Hypertrophic change of the AC joint is overgrowth in the acromioclavicular joint, often due to Arthritis.
What is hypertrophic degenerative changes?
Hypertrophic degenerative changes refers to enlargement of a particular organ or structure due to degeneration of that part. An example of this is in the musculoskeletal system, where margins of joints form osteophyte, or large outgrowths of bone at the margins of joints.
What joint is the extensor digitorum longus?
This isn't a joint; it's a muscle. But if you were wondering what joints are involved with the extensor digitorum longus, they are the PIP joint and talonavicular joint.
What is hypertrophic facet changes?
Facet hypertrophic change is a term commonly found in x-ray and MRI reports concerning the condition of the spine. A facet is a type of joint found at the back or rear portion of the spine that gives support and strength to the spinal column while still allowing the spine to move. There are a total of 46 facet joints in the spine, made up of pairs of projections from two adjacent spinal bones that unit them together in a functional unit of strength and movement. These facet joints are all covered and further strengthened by layers of ligaments that reinforce each one. Hypertrophy or hypertrophic change means that something that started out as one size in the body has increased in size, like with a muscle when the muscle is exercised or a tissue cell when the body is attempting to make that particular tissue work better or harder. Hypertrophic changes happen in joint tissue when the body is attempting to reinforce or strengthen a joint when it is being weakened by arthritis. In the case of facet hypertrophic changes, the ligaments would typically thicken and the bones in and around the joint would become more dense or harder, and extra bone tissue might be laid down to increase the size of the boney projections that make up the facet joint. All of these changes are visible in an MRI or x-ray examination and indicate early arthritis in that area of the spine where such changes are found, and would explain complaints of pain and stiffness.
What is mild ac joint hypertrophy?
Mild hypertrophy of the AC, or acromioclavicular joint, refers to an overgrowth in the joint. This is often due to the inflammation associated with osteoarthritis.
What does hypertrophic osteoarthritic mean?
Commonly known simply as osteoarthritis (OA) which is a degenerative joint disease (DJD) where joint cartilage wears away causing pain, swelling, limited movement and muscle weakness around the afflicted joint.
What is facet arthropathy with hypertrophy?
Hypertrophic facet joint is where the joint becomes enlarged as a result of degeneration. The joints are connected and impact the spinal vertebrae.
Is a Hard lump on top of foot sore when pressure applied what is this?
A lump on your foot could be metatarsal-cuneiform joint exostosis depending on where the bump actually is, the talonavicular joint is pretty close by and this joint is also prone to exostosis. Or. Excess growth. witch is normally harmless, and surgery could be done to remove them, but that is only recommended if it was pushing on a nerve very close to them and causing nerve pain. if you have a lump on your foot you should see a good doctor.

How many cities named Philadelphia and in what states are they located?
Hind-foot - as the name suggests, the hindfoot is the portion of the foot closest to the center of the body. It begins at the ankle joint and stops at the calcaneal-cuboid joint.Mid-foot - The midfoot begins with the calcaneal-cuboid joint and essentially ends where the metatarsals begin. While it has several more joints than the hind-foot, it still possesses little mobility.Fore-foot - the fore-foot is composed of the metatarsals, and phalanges. The bones that comprise the fore-foot are those that are last to leave the ground during walking.
