2023年12月27日 · Uncovertebral arthrosis is osteoarthritic changes seen at the uncinate process of the cervical spine. It is a common site of arthrosis regularly observed at the lower cervical vertebrae.

2024年5月23日 · Uncovertebral joint hypertrophy is a condition that affects the lower part of the spine in the neck, causing pain, stiffness, and grinding with neck movements. As the condition progresses, it can lead to pinched nerves, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the arms.

2018年9月17日 · Arthrosis and arthritis are conditions that affect your bones, ligaments, and joints. Learn about the differences and how to treat them.

Uncovertebral joints. The uncinate process and the associated uncovertebral articulation are also important in providing stability and guiding the motion of the cervical spine with degeneration; they become clinically apparent with compression of the adjacent nerve root and vertebral artery [71, 72] (Fig. 31). Fig. 31.

Osteophytes on the uncinate process resulting from uncovertebral arthrosis may compress both the spinal nerve root and the vertebral artery as they pass through the intervertebral and transverse foramina, respectively.

2023年3月3日 · Uncovertebral hypertrophy is swelling or enlargement of the uncovertebral joints. These are joints in the neck that stabilize and allow for movement. Symptoms often include...

There are multiple pain generators of the cervical spine and detecting degenerative changes and their extent are important in clinical management. The normal cervical spine has a lordotic curvature. The anterior and posterior cortices of the vertebral bodies should align with the adjacent bodies.

2024年3月12日 · What Is Cervical Spondylosis? Cervical spondylosis is also called cervical osteoarthritis. It is a condition involving changes to the bones, disks, and joints of the neck, usually as people...

The modified Kellgren and Lawrence classification based on CT scan could provide a quantitative assessment of uncovertebral joints degeneration in a healthy population and could provide more details for artificial cervical arthroplasty.
