A member asked:
Meaning? multilevel marginal osteophytes. concave deformities involving the superior en represent age indeterminate endplate compression fractures?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Osteophytes are arthritic spurs on your vertebrae. These are mild. You have evidence of collapsed vertebrae which could be old or recent. Any history of old back trauma? Any recent severe back pain? If no significant back injury to explain these compression fractures, predisposing osteoporosis is the cause. Were you ever treated with high dose corticosteroids? Your MD will order a bone density.
