what is moderate uncovertebral arthropathy
what is mild bilateral uncovertebral spurring
Uncovertebral arthropathy refers to degenerative changes of the uncovertebral joint. This joint is located on both sides of the disc space adjacent to the cervical spine.
that means you have a bone spur on your vertebra somewhere -- mine are between c5 and c6 for example... prominent with or without disk bulge?...you need to make sure you know the answer to that...
Uncovertebral joint arthropathy is a degenerative change of the uncovertebral joints. These joints are small synovial joints between the lower cervical vertebrae and the superior vertebral body.
uncovertbral arthropathy at c4-5
Uncovertebral spurring is also known as uncovertebral joint osteophytes or bone spurring. This happens when vertebral bodies from the third to the seventh part of the cervical vertebrae join together. It is caused by the vertebrae wearing down over time.
Mild hypertrophic degeneration refers to a degeneration of the facet joints in the spine. Facet joints help support the spine and give it flexibility.
The uncovertebral joint is also known as the Luschka's joint. These are bone spurs that occur when the third through seventh cervical vertebrae meet.
arthritis
Degeneration means age-related arthritis. In this case, it's found in the knee joint.
This typically means there are signs of wear and tear in the knee joint that are considered normal for someone of a certain age. It is likely not causing significant symptoms or issues at this stage. However, it is important to keep an eye on it and possibly make lifestyle adjustments to prevent further degeneration.
