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. Additionally, the spinal alignment might be affected, potentially leading to decreased mobility and pain. Overall, the spine can exhibit a combination of wear and tear changes characteristic of osteoarthritis.

What is Bridging osteophytes in the upper lumbar spine?

AnswerOsteophytes, commonly called bone spurs, are abnormal outgrowths of bone occurring at joints. They are a classic finding in the most common type of arthritis, osteoarthritis.The formation of osteophytes isn't completely understood, but the thought is that they form in response to abnormal friction generated in the joints as they degenerate due to the underlying disease (most commonly osteoarthritis). They can form visible and palpable (meaning you can feel them) little nodes at any affected joint. They are common in the small joints of the hands in people with osteoarthritis.
