A

Degenerative loss of water from the vertebrae due to age

Causing loss of cushioning and increased pressure on facet joints leading to secondary OA

39
Q

A

Slippage of one vertebrae over another

40
Q

What is disectomy?

A

Surgical removal of disc material (nucleus pulposus) that is compressing on the spinal cord

41
