The spine is made up of many vertebrae. These all have cartilage between them to keep your back flexible and to keep the vertebrae apart and allow particular nerves to pass between the vertebrae. osteoarthritis is the wearing out or damage of the cartilage between these vertebrae. This can lead to direct back ache and also interfere with nerves going to the various parts of the body.The cervical spine includes the top 8 vertebrae of the backbone.
It means there is only a small amount of wear and tear in the pads between the vertebrae and that there is no problem at this time with the Chanel's that allow the nerves to pass between them.
Osteoarthritis can cause the breakdown of cartilage between facet joints. This causes pain as well as loss of motion and stiffness.The facet joints are in the back portion or posterior of the spine. They combine with the disc space to create a three joint complex at each vertebral level. These joints consist of two opposing bony surfaces that should have cartilage between them and a capsule around it that produces fluid.The cartilage and the fluid combine to allow the joint to move with little friction. However, with facet joint arthritis, the cartilage breaks down causing more friction with joint movement. This leads to a loss of motion stiffness and back pain.
Synovial cysts are what causes facet fluid in vertebra. Synovial cysts are benign, fluid filled sacs that develop in the facet joints of the lumbar spine as a result of degeneration.
Facet cubism or analytical cubism is the type of work Braque and Picasso did 1909-1912. They broke down form into fragments (facets), color was not of interest.
The word 'facet' is a noun; a word for one side of something many-sided; the small plane surface of a cut gem; a particular aspect or feature of something; a word for a thing.
Bilateral facet and ligamentous hypertrophy refers to the enlargement or overgrowth of the facet joints and ligaments in the spine. This condition often occurs as a result of degenerative changes in the spine, such as osteoarthritis. It can lead to spinal stenosis and nerve compression, causing symptoms like pain, numbness, and weakness in the back and legs.
osteoarthritis affecting many vertebrae.
what does bilateral facet arthropathy mean
Moderate bilateral facet hypertrophy at L5-S1 refers to the enlargement or overgrowth of the facet joints at the fifth lumbar vertebra and first sacral vertebra in the spine. This condition is commonly seen in degenerative spine disorders such as osteoarthritis. The hypertrophy can lead to narrowing of the spinal canal, which may result in compression of the spinal nerves and cause symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and legs. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medications, injections, or in severe cases, surgery.
The facet joints are located in the spinal canal. Bilateral facet arthropathy is arthritis in the facet joints of the back.
It means there is only a small amount of wear and tear in the pads between the vertebrae and that there is no problem at this time with the Chanel's that allow the nerves to pass between them.
uncovertbral arthropathy at c4-5
There is generalised affection of the facet joints. Anatomist call those joints as zygapophyseal joints.
I am assuming that by "facet injections" you mean hydrocortisone injections at the site of spinal facets for pain relief. I still get them about every 6 months or so. I have a combination of osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease and the injections do help manage my pain.
Facet joints are where certain bones fit together such as in the vertebral column. An effusion is escape of fluid into a part or tissue, and bilateral of course means on both sides. Bilateral facet joint effusion indicates fluid being released on both sides of the vertebrae.
