Uncovertebral arthrosis, also known as uncovertebral joint osteoarthritis, is a degenerative condition that affects the uncovertebral joints in the spine. These joints are located between adjacent vertebrae in the cervical spine, and over time, they can develop osteoarthritis, which may lead to symptoms like neck pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

Moderate circumferential disc osteophyte formation refers to the development of bony growths (osteophytes) around the circumference of an intervertebral disc, often due to degeneration or aging. Bilateral uncovertebral joint hypertrophy indicates an enlargement of the uncovertebral joints on both sides of the cervical spine, which can occur as a result of degenerative changes. Together, these conditions can contribute to spinal stenosis and nerve root compression, leading to pain and reduced mobility. Treatment may involve physical therapy, medication, or, in severe cases, surgical intervention.
