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 is spondylotic ridging at L5 S1?
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.
What is posterior disk osteophytic ridging?

What is posterior disc osteophyte?
Posterior disc osteophyte is a condition where more than one spinal vertebrae or disc is affected by bone spurs. This can happen during aging, from a degenerative disease, obesity, or from your body producing extra nodules of bone.
What is posterior disc herniation of the L5 S1 impinging on the anterior aspect of the spinal cord?
Posterior means "rear" - Anterior means "front. What the report is saying is that the L5/S1 disk is herniated at the back of the disk (posterior) and is impinging on the front of the spinal cord as a result. This is very common for that particular disk, as well as the L4/5 disk.

Can the ischial tuberosity be seen on the posterior side of the skeleton?

Where is posterior tibial located?
The posterior tibial artery is located in the lower leg, running along the back of the tibia bone. It branches off from the popliteal artery and travels downwards, posterior to the medial malleolus (the bony prominence on the inner ankle). The artery supplies blood to the posterior compartment of the leg and the plantar surface of the foot. It eventually divides into the medial and lateral plantar arteries.
