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.
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?
yes
Degenerative is an (usually) irreversible, progressive process in which body tissues deteriorate over time. Lipping is an overgrowth of the bone joints that is a symptom of degenerative or inflammatory joint disease. So degenerative lipping would be irreversible bone joint deterioration and overgrowth.
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.
Bone Spur
Lipping or Osteophytic lipping is the body's reponse to wear and tear of the articular cartilage which the body is unable to replace. So in the best effort to repair it lays down bits of bone called osteophytes. These appear on x=ray and often the quality of bone is more like invory than real bone. Lipping of the inferior patella means that ther are osteophytes on the lower aspect of the patella ( knee cap ). This can lead to some pain and swelling and difficulty with knee actions.
