Luschka arthropathy, also known as uncovertebral joint degeneration, refers to the degeneration of the uncovertebral joints located between the cervical vertebrae. These joints are formed by the uncinate processes of the vertebrae and the lateral aspects of the adjacent vertebra. Degeneration can lead to pain, restricted movement, and potential nerve compression, often contributing to conditions like cervical radiculopathy. Management typically involves conservative treatments, such as physical therapy and pain management, although surgery may be considered in severe cases.
