curveture in the thoratic spine
A degenerative joint disease affecting the thoracic spine, causing local pain and stiffness. Associated with degenerative changes in the thoracic spine. ICD code 721.2, 721.41, 722.72,or 722.92
What is spurring in the lower thoracic spine? Please be specific
Its a degenerative condition in which your spine curves.
Scoliosis is a condition characterized by an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. It can occur at any level of the spine, including the cervical (neck), thoracic (upper back), and lumbar (lower back) regions. The most common location for scoliosis is the thoracic spine, which is the upper and middle part of the back.
the thoracic spine is above the lumbar spine which means ALL thoracic vertebrae are superior to the lumbar vertebrae.
Osseous structures refer to the bony components of the spine that may show signs of degeneration or wear over time. In scattered endplate degenerative changes in the thoracic spine, there may be areas of bony spur formation, disc space narrowing, and sclerosis at the endplates, indicating degenerative changes affecting the bones and discs in that region of the spine. These changes can contribute to symptoms such as pain, stiffness, and limited mobility in the thoracic spine.
DJD in a thoracic radiology report stands for degenerative joint disease or degenerative disc disease, which refers to wear and tear on the joints or discs in the spine. This can manifest as changes such as osteoarthritis or disc degeneration.
A malformation, break, or hernia of the thoracic vertebrae in the spine.
The ribs are attached at the thoracic region of the spinal column. There are twelve vertebra that make up the thoracic spine. Which can be referred to as T1, the top of the thoracic spine through the bottom of the thoracic spine T12 or T1 - T12. The twelve pair of human ribs are classified as True ribs, False ribs and Floating ribs depending on the ribs pair location on the thoracic spine.
There are three parts of the spine, the cervical, thoracic and lumbar. Each vertebrae is listed by its number. For example the first 7 vertebrae (from the top) are listed as C1-C7 meaning C for cervical. The thoracic vertebrae starts after C7, the 8th vertebrae is T1-T12, so there is 12 individual vertebraes in the thoracic spine. After the thoracic, is the lumbar which have 5 individual vertebrae, L1-L5.
The D12 vertebra is the 12th vertebra in the thoracic spine, located between the T11 and L1 vertebrae. It is the last vertebra in the thoracic region before transitioning to the lumbar spine.
