A member asked:
What is degenerative bony structures, including trace physiological wedging of midthoracic vertebra?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generically, "degenerative" implies a chronic wear and tear arthritic process, which typically involves joint structure over a period of time. Biological variation results in more intense changes in some at an earlier age. The "wedging" may be an indication of prior trauma to the thoracic vertebral body, and represents likely an acute event solely. Discuss correlative significance with your doc
