This refers to the normal apppearance of some vertebrae, specifically the lumbar vertebrae, which have a wedged shape. The anterior aspect of lumbar vertebrae are shorter than the posterior aspect, giving them a wedged shape from posterior to anterior. This shape helps contribute to the lumbar lordosis (normal curve).
The lumbar curve is called an elliptical curve (so not a "c" curve like the neck but more like an ellipse). The vertebrae can appear like this if there is a past compression fracture or fractures.

What does anterior wedging in c-spine mean?
Anterior wedging in the cervical spine refers to a condition where the front portion of a vertebrae in the neck appears compressed or wedged compared to the back portion. This can be seen on imaging studies like X-rays or MRIs and may be associated with conditions like osteoporosis or spinal fractures. Treatment may vary depending on the underlying cause and severity of the wedging.

What is an old mild wedging of L1 and L2?
Old mild wedging of L1 and L2 refers to a condition in the spine where the first and second lumbar vertebrae (L1 and L2) exhibit a slight wedge shape due to previous injury, degeneration, or developmental issues. This wedging can lead to changes in spinal alignment and may contribute to discomfort or pain in the lower back. It is often identified through imaging studies, and while it may not require aggressive treatment, monitoring and conservative management can be beneficial.
