The Degree of Cervical Intervertebral Disc Degeneration Is Associated With Denser Bone Quality of the Cervical Sub‐endplate and Vertebral Body
In individuals over 50 years with cervical spondylosis, the severity of disc degeneration was closely correlated with denser bone quality in both the caudal vertebral body and sub-endplate, as measured by VBQ and EBQ scores. These findings suggest that worsening disc degeneration is associated with increased bone density in specific areas of the cervical spine.
