Uncovertebral Arthritis is a form of osteoarthritis. It affects the uncovertebral joints, or Luschka's joints. This condition also affects the intervertebral discs between the vertebra.
Think of arthropathy as just another word for arthritis or osteoarthritis. The facet joints are joints on either side of each level of the spine that alow for movement of the spine. Facet arthopathy is just arthritis of these joints and a term often used by people reading x-rays or MRIs. Facet arthrosis is also used meaning the same thing. Another general term for this type of arthritis is degenerative joint disease.
These are slightly movable joints and found in the axial skeleton (skull and trunk).These joints are not only found in the axial skeleton, as the Middle Radioulnar joint located in the forearm between the ulna and radius is classified as an amphiarthrotic functioning joint. and is located on the appendicular skeleton.

No Arthritis is a disease that involves the joints. An arthrosis is a joint, a place where two bones come together for the purpose of motion of body parts. An arthrosis (joint) is usually formed of fibrous connective tissue and cartilage.
Uncovertebral spurring is also known as uncovertebral joint osteophytes or bone spurring. This happens when vertebral bodies from the third to the seventh part of the cervical vertebrae join together. It is caused by the vertebrae wearing down over time.
