Is there a difference between osteophyte and osteophyte complex?
Osteophyte is one abnormal growth. Osteophyte complex is numerous bony growths which can affect not only more than one vertebrae (but several), and can be extremely painful when rubbing on the nearby nerves, and also causes narrowing of the neural foramina(?). You don't want an osteophyte (s) placing pressure on the thecal sac (which is where the cerebral spinal fluid is located). susankatielorraine@yahoo.com

What is an osteophytic bar?
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.
What are osteophyte lippings?
When bone comes into contact with bone wear damage occurs in the area of contact so the body tries to rebuild the bone where it is damaged. the problem is however that you end up with little bits of bone growing into areas where they do more harm then good. this is called osteophyte lipping.

Can whiplash to the neck cause osteophyte complex and compression of the left C6 nerve?
Yes, I was T-boned (whiplash injury) and developed posterior osteophyte complex as a result. My CAT scan showed no injury after the accident at the hospital but a year later I had a MRI done because of severe neck pain and it showed osteophyte complex. The extreme force put on the disc during impact (whiplash) triggers your brain to "repair" the injured disk forming osteophytes.
