What does narrowing disc space noted with facet hypertrophy mean in medical terms?
Hypertrophy is a medical term that means that something (muscle, liver tissue, ligament) is larger or greater than it was originally.
In this case, the term usually suggests that the facet joint is larger or greater than normal due to increased size of the bony projection and the ligaments that are all part of the facet structure. This change of facet hypertrophy usually occurs as one of the first signs of spinal osteoarthritis. Arthritis causes the body to deposit new bone to these joints in an attempt to make these joints stronger and not break down.
The disc also becomes compressed as a person ages and the space between the two vertebrae narrows. Actually gravity can be blamed for this problem.
