My mri show wedging to my d-10 and d-11 due to previous trauma. can you explain what this means?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A broken bone: Wedging of t10 and T11 is a change in the shape of the vertebral body part of the spine. The bone gets crushed from an injury and can change shape from its normal rectangular appearance to a more wedge shaped appearance. This can also be a normal finding from degeneration of the spine due to aging as well as due to genetic conditions such as scheurmann's disease.
