spondylotic changes of the lumbar spine - SPORTS
Spondylosis refers to degenerative changes in the spine such as bone spurs and degenerating intervertebral discs between the vertebrae. Spondylosis changes in the spine are frequently referred to as osteoarthritis. Spondylosis, or osteoarthritis of the spine, results from years of normal wear and tear on the bones and tissues that make up the spine.
Context Explanation
Although it can affect any part of the spine, the condition is seen most in the uppermost and lowermost sections — the cervical (neck) and lumbar (low-back) spine. Lumbar spondylosis is a progeressive degenerative condition that affects the intervertebral discs, vertebral bodies, and associated joints of the lumbar spine [1] [2]. It is described as an age-related degeneration of the lumbar vertebrae.
