What else can I help you with?
What is mild hypertrophic degenerative?
Mild hypertrophic degeneration refers to a degeneration of the facet joints in the spine. Facet joints help support the spine and give it flexibility.
What is grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the L4-5 level mean?
A level of severity of a certain type of arthrits in the spine or back
What is marked degenerative facet disease?
what is facet degeneration at l5 and s1 at the rigight side
What is protrusions?
Spondylosis is pain and degeneration of the spine. A spondylitic protrusion is the disc tissue that has displaced beyond the disc space.
What is spondylitic protrusion?
Spondylosis is pain and degeneration of the spine. A spondylitic protrusion is the disc tissue that has displaced beyond the disc space.
What is anterior spondylosis?
Anterior spondylosis is a degenerative condition affecting the vertebral body and discs in the front of the spine. It can lead to bone spurs, disc degeneration, and narrowing of the spinal canal, potentially causing pain and discomfort. Treatment may involve pain management, physical therapy, and in severe cases, surgery.
Apophyseal joint hypertrophy and lumbar spine?
Apophyseal joint hypertrophy refers to the enlargement of the facet joints in the lumbar spine, often due to degeneration or chronic stress. This condition can lead to increased pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, as well as contribute to conditions like spinal stenosis. It frequently occurs in conjunction with other degenerative changes in the spine, such as disc degeneration. Management typically involves physical therapy, pain management, and, in some cases, surgical intervention.
What is Lumbar spondylosis without myelopathy?
Lumbar spondylosis is a disease that results in the degeneration of joints in the spine. If the condition is without myelopathy, it means that the spinal cord is not damaged.
What does disk spurring on a MRI of spine mean?
Disk spurring on an MRI of the spine refers to the formation of bone spurs (osteophytes) that develop around the intervertebral discs, often as a result of degeneration or wear and tear. This condition can indicate underlying issues such as disc degeneration or arthritis in the spine. These spurs may contribute to nerve compression or spinal stenosis, potentially leading to pain or neurological symptoms. Treatment options vary depending on the severity and symptoms, ranging from physical therapy to surgical intervention.
What is the meaning of Spondylodegenerative changes of lumbar spine with marginal osteophytes of opposing vertebral end plates?
Spondylodegenerative changes of the lumbar spine refer to age-related degeneration of the spinal structures, including intervertebral discs and vertebrae, often leading to pain and reduced mobility. Marginal osteophytes are bony growths that develop on the edges of the vertebral end plates as a response to degeneration, indicating attempts by the body to stabilize the spine. These changes are commonly associated with conditions like osteoarthritis and can contribute to spinal stenosis or nerve compression. Overall, this condition reflects the wear and tear of the spine over time.
What is myocardial degeneration?
Senile myocardial degeneration is degeneration of the heart. Often a heart valve has to be replaced because of this degeneration.
Is kyphosis and scoliosis a form of arthritis?
No, kyphosis and scoliosis are not forms of arthritis. Kyphosis refers to an excessive curvature of the spine, while scoliosis is characterized by an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. Both conditions relate to structural abnormalities of the spine rather than joint inflammation or degeneration, which are typical of arthritis. However, they can sometimes be associated with arthritis-related conditions, but they are distinct diagnoses.
