A doctor has provided 1 answer
Arthritic joint: Arthropathy describes an arthritic joint. Based upon your description, you likely have a radiology report that is describing your facet (or zygopophyseal) joints. These are the joints in the back of the spine (behind the disc and spinal canal). There are two at each spinal level.
