Multilevel marginal osteophytes are noted. Cortical margin accentuation and central compression are noted at multiple levels. Alignment is proper. L5-S1 disc space appears reduced. Intervertebral joint spaces elsewhere appear unremarkable. Spinal canal is within normal limits. Posterior elements appear unremarkable. IMPRESSION: Osteodegenerative changes with osteoporosis. Please help me to understand the problem and advice treatment Accordingly.

A crack in the bone caused due to repeated stress is often called a 'hairline fracture'.

Here are the basic differences between a crack and a fracture in the bone and ...more
