As disk degeneration occurs in the spinal vertebrae, mechanical stresses result in osteophytic bars (osteophytes) which form along the ventral aspect of the spinal canal. These are sometimes called parrot beaks because of their shape.
Ventral osteophytosis is the development of bony outgrowths on the front aspect of a vertebra (or bone) in the spine. These osteophytes are typically seen in conditions like degenerative disc disease or osteoarthritis, where they may contribute to pain and stiffness in the affected area. Treatment may involve medications, physical therapy, or in severe cases, surgery.
