spondylotic degeneration - SPORTS
Spondylosis is a general term that refers to the natural degeneration of the spine that occurs with age. It is a common condition that affects the vertebrae (bones of the spine), intervertebral discs (the cushions between the vertebrae), and the ligaments and muscles of the spine. Lumbar spondylosis is a progeressive degenerative condition that affects the intervertebral discs, vertebral bodies, and associated joints of the lumbar spine [1] [2].
Context Explanation
It is described as an age-related degeneration of the lumbar vertebrae. Spondylosis is the degeneration of the vertebral column from any cause. In the more narrow sense, it refers to spinal osteoarthritis, the age-related degeneration of the spinal column, which is the most common cause of spondylosis.
