Anterior endplates are the front surfaces of the vertebral bodies in the spine. They play a crucial role in spinal stability and load distribution, serving as interfaces between the vertebrae and the intervertebral discs. These structures are important for maintaining the alignment and integrity of the spinal column, and any damage or degeneration to them can lead to various spinal disorders.

What is anterior endplate spurring?
Anterior endplate spurring refers to the formation of bony protrusions, or spurs, on the anterior (front) surface of the vertebral endplates in the spine. This condition is often associated with degenerative changes in the intervertebral discs and can occur due to aging or repetitive stress on the spine. The spurs can indicate osteoarthritis and may lead to symptoms such as pain or reduced mobility if they impinge on surrounding structures. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies like X-rays or MRIs.
