in medical terms what does ridging mean
Spondylosis is pain and degeneration of the spine. A spondylitic protrusion is the disc tissue that has displaced beyond the disc space.
Osteophytic ridging means a bone spur.
A diffuse spondylitic bar is a bony bridge that forms across the adjacent spinous processes in the spine due to degenerative changes, such as ankylosing spondylitis. It restricts motion and can cause spinal stiffness and pain.
The most common cause of cervical spondylosis is aging. These abnormalities are incredibly common in patients over 40, regardless of whether they have any neck pain or symptoms.
Something that will not bend is said to be ridged.
Spondylosis is pain and degeneration of the spine. A spondylitic protrusion is the disc tissue that has displaced beyond the disc space.
Spondylitic changes are caused by conditions such as ankylosing spondylitis, a type of arthritis that primarily affects the spine. In ankylosing spondylitis, the immune system attacks the joints and causes inflammation that can lead to bone formation and fusion of the vertebrae. This can result in stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility in the affected areas of the spine.
Spondylotic ridging found on MRI is when there is calcification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, which runs behind the bodies of vertebrae caudal to cephlad. Neural foramina are the openings in the spinal column where the spinal nerves exit to the periphery.

Yes, the word ridge is both a noun (ridge, ridges) and a verb (ridge, ridges, ridging, ridged).

spondylitic (although more likely to be spondylotic) changes and lumbar disc dehydration are both extremely common findings on MRI scans when looking at the spinal column of older people. The discs become dehydrated as we get older and that is why we shrink. spondylotic means wear and tear or degeneration.Neither of these cause breathing problems or imbalance when walking and they were unlikely to have been caused as a result of a problem in the spinal column.
