Facet narrowing and sclerosis at the L3, L4, L5, and S1 levels refer to degenerative changes in the facet joints of the lumbar spine. Facet narrowing indicates a reduction in the space within the joint, often due to cartilage wear, while sclerosis refers to increased bone density or hardening around the joint, typically as a response to stress or degeneration. These changes can lead to pain and reduced mobility, often associated with conditions like Arthritis or degenerative disc disease. They may also contribute to spinal instability or nerve compression in some cases.

What is moderate bilateral facet hypertrophy at L5-S1?
Moderate bilateral facet hypertrophy at L5-S1 refers to the enlargement or overgrowth of the facet joints at the fifth lumbar vertebra and first sacral vertebra in the spine. This condition is commonly seen in degenerative spine disorders such as osteoarthritis. The hypertrophy can lead to narrowing of the spinal canal, which may result in compression of the spinal nerves and cause symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and legs. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medications, injections, or in severe cases, surgery.
