Lumbar Spine Pathology Spondylosis Deformans physiotherapy animations. Shows the age-related, asymptomatic degenerative process known as spondylosis deformans. Anterior and lateral vertebral body osteophytes or lipping are traction spurs from the outer annular fibres and peri-vertebral ligaments.
Spondylosis deformans refers to bony overgrowths, also known as osteophytes, at the adjacent edges of two vertebral bodies. The growths occur mainly at the anterior and lateral edges of the vertebral bodies, and less so at the posterior edges. Spondylosis Deformans occurs most often at the T9-10 and L3-4 spinal levels, and can begin as soon as twenty years of age.
The bony overgrowths increase with aging and physiotherapy animations, but are not part of a degenerative process, as opposed to the vertebral body osteophytes that occur with degenerative disc disease. It is thought that the spondylosis deformans osteophytes.
