Lumbar facet arthropathy, also called facet joint arthritis or facet joint syndrome, refers to lower back pain caused by inflammation of the facet joints that connect one vertebra to another in the spine and the cartilage that lines them.
Facet arthropathy is a form of arthritis affecting joints in the spine. Facet joints are located on the back of your spine. They help provide a counterbalance to the discs inside your spine's vertebrae (the small bones that form your backbone).
Lumbar spondylosis is an age-related degeneration of the vertebrae and disks of the lower back. These changes are often called degenerative disk disease and osteoarthritis. The common condition is marked by the breakdown of one or more of the disks that separate the bones of the spine.
Definition. Lumbar spondylosis (LS) is a radiographic diagnosis that refers to degenerative changes of the discs, vertebral bodies and paired zygapophysial joints (z-joints) of the lumbar spineand may be associated with low back pain (LBP).
This age-related condition is called lumbar spondylosis. It's also frequently called arthritis of the lower back and results in chronic lower back pain that worsens with age and increases with movement. When this condition occurs in the neck, it's called cervical spondylosis.
