What does the spine of a person with osteoarthritis look like?
In a person with osteoarthritis, the spine may show signs of degeneration such as disc thinning, bone spurs (osteophytes), and joint space narrowing. The vertebrae can appear irregularly shaped due to the formation of these bone spurs, and there may be evidence of inflammation in the surrounding tissues.

Overall, the spine can exhibit a combination of wear and tear changes characteristic of osteoarthritis.
