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.
Osteophyte is one abnormal growth. Osteophyte complex is numerous bony growths which can affect not only more than one vertebrae (but several), and can be extremely painful when rubbing on the nearby nerves, and also causes narrowing of the neural foramina(?). You don't want an osteophyte (s) placing pressure on the thecal sac (which is where the cerebral spinal fluid is located). susankatielorraine@yahoo.com
An osteophyte is a bone spur that forms usually because of damage to the surface of a joint, resulting in arthritis. A disc osteophyte occurs in the disc space between two vertebrae of the spine.
It is a large build up of bone on the outside of a bone or joint.
Osteophyte formation on the articular margin of the patella means that there is a bone growth in the joint of the knee. A medical specialist will be able to diagnose the cause for this type of bone growth.
Uncovertebral joints, which are smaller joints out to the side where the vertebra normally approximate one other so they're further out laterally.This is a reasonably complex subject and has to do with the growth of osteophites (Bone that eventually starts to put pressure and cause damage the nerves) between the discs of the vertebrae. To get more authoritative and precise information on this go to the related link (uncovertebral osteophytes) below.i had a mri it said i have a demonstrates a tiny right uncovertebral osteophyte and disk complex however without any significant exiting foreaminal stenosis what do that mean
Lippings is the overgrowth and deterioration of bone joints. It is usually the result of a degenerative or inflammatory disease that may be irreversible.

Osteophyte formations are where there is bony deposits within the spinal bone.ÊOsteophyte formation can arise from a number of reasons, such as osteoarthritis, movement of the vertebrae, rheumatoid arthritis, trauma, and aging.
