what is anterior osteophytic lipping
Elmar Lipping was born in 1906.
Elmar Lipping died in 1994.
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.
That depends on where it is
I would like to ask meaning of thoracic disc margins have earlydegeneratitive lipping?
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.
Osteophytic lipping is also known as a disc bulge. The treatment for a disc bulge is rest and non steroid anti inflammatories, for more advanced cases steroid injections can be tried.
Endplate lipping refers to the formation of bony spurs or projections at the edges of the vertebral endplates in the spine. This can be seen on imaging studies like X-rays and may indicate degenerative changes in the intervertebral discs and joints of the spine. It is commonly associated with conditions like osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease.
