What is posterior disk osteophytic ridging?
Basically this medical term is bone spur formation. Disc osteophyte is a spinal cord condition that is caused by the development of bone spurs or osteophytes on the vertebrae or intervertebral discs.
What is posterior ridging and disk prominence?
It is remodling of the back side of the bony vertebral bodies, causing a ridge-like effect, while at the same time, there is a bulging of the annular disk material. It is this phenomenon which can cause impression onto the spinal cord, which travels through a canal behind the vertebrae. These, along with a couple of others are characteristic of degenerative disk disease.
What are the vertebral processes most easily palpated along the midline of the back?
Spinous
What extends superiorly along the posterior aspect of the L3 vertebral body?
The spinous process is found on the posterior surface of most vertebrae.
Is the vertebral column distal to the kidneys?
Yes, the vertebral column is distal to the kidneys. The kidneys are located in the abdominal cavity, while the vertebral column runs along the back of the body, closer to the spine.

What part of vertebrae transfers weight along the axis of the body?
the vertebral body (centrum) transfers weight along axis of body
What movements can spinal cord do?
Spinal cord can not move actively. It moves passively along with the vertebral column.
What is Anterior spondylitic ridging?
Anterior spondylitic ridging refers to the formation of bony ridges along the anterior (front) aspect of vertebrae, often associated with ankylosing spondylitis, a type of inflammatory arthritis that primarily affects the spine. This condition leads to inflammation and eventual fusion of spinal vertebrae, resulting in stiffness and reduced flexibility. The ridging occurs as a result of new bone formation due to chronic inflammation and can contribute to the characteristic changes seen in X-rays of affected individuals. It is important for diagnosis and monitoring disease progression.
What is osteophytic lipping of the talonavicular joint?
Osteophytic lipping of the talonavicular joint refers to the formation of bony outgrowths or spurs along the joint margins due to degenerative changes. This can occur as a result of conditions like osteoarthritis, leading to joint pain, stiffness, and reduced joint movement. Treatment may include pain management, physical therapy, and in severe cases, surgery.
What is wide margin resection?
Wide margin resection is a surgical procedure. It involves the removal of diseased or infected tissue along with a portion of normal tissue.
What is a good profit margin for a service?
