Anterior osteophyte formations are typically caused by the wear and tear that occurs over time due to aging or degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis. They can also develop as a result of repeated stress or injury to the spine, leading to the body's attempt to stabilize the affected area by forming additional bone.
