What Does Uncovertebral Joint Disease Mean?
Seven images of the cervical spine were obtained. Uncovertebral joint disease is noted at the C5-6 level on the left. Facet joints are fairly well maintained. Neural foramen are grossly unremarkable. Endplate osteophyte formation and disc space loss is noted at C6-7 and to a lesser extent C5-6. No compression fracture is identified. Precervical soft tissues are normal. Flexion and extension views reveal no abnormal motion. IMPRESSION: Multilevel degenerative change most prominent C6-7
