Neurocentral joints are found between the neural arches and centra of adjacent vertebrae in the spine. They provide stability and allow for limited movement in the spine.
osteophyte
marginal osteophytes are a result and a part of arthritis. they are the build up of bone around the area in joints where the bone has started to touch bone in joints.
Osteophytis (plural Osteophytes)
A disc protrusion with osteophytes refers to a condition in the spine where there is a bulging or herniation of an intervertebral disc along with the formation of bony outgrowths called osteophytes. The disc protrusion occurs when the gel-like center of the disc pushes out through a tear in the outer layer, potentially causing compression of nearby nerves or the spinal cord. Osteophytes are bony spurs that form in response to degeneration or injury, often seen in conditions like osteoarthritis. This combination of disc protrusion and osteophytes can contribute to symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the affected area.
There are bone spurs on the back of the bone being studied.
The technical term for neck spurs is cervical osteophytes.
Small points of bone sticking out from the vertebra toward the front. Osteophytes are an X ray finding association with arthritis in the spine as we age or have had an old trauma.

As disk degeneration occurs in the spinal vertebrae, mechanical stresses result in osteophytic bars (osteophytes) which form along the ventral aspect of the spinal canal. These are sometimes called parrot beaks because of their shape.
The skeleton; particularly joint edge surfaces.
Osteophytes are often called bone spurs. These bony protrusions form in and around joints, often causing pain and limiting range of motion. Many osteophytes are identified by their shape such as osteophytic ridging, spurring, or lipping. However, each osteophyte has a unique shape based on the cause and location.
