A member asked:
What is c3-c4 mild bilateral uncovertebral arthosis, c5-c6 bilateteral uncovertebral arthosis l1-l2 minor facet arthosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spinal column joints: The uncovertebral joints occur between the uncinate process of the vertebra above and the uncus of the vertbra below in the cervical spinal column (C3-C7). The facet joints stabilize the spinal motion segment, protecting it from excessive anterior shear forces and flexion and rotation. Arthrosis in this context likely refers to mild "wear and tear" changes in the joints, probably from age.
