In the case of chronic axial neck pain, the facet joints have been reported to be the primary pain generator in about 25% to 66% of cases.1In patients with chronic facet-mediated pain, 58% to 88% of patients complained of associated headaches.2-4Cervical facet joint arthropathy increases ...
The basic anatomic unit of the lumbar spine is a three-joint complex, comprised of an intervertebral disc and paired zygapophysial (facet) joints (Fig. 31.1a鈥揷). The main function of the facet joints is to limit movement in all planes of motion with a secondary role in weight bearing....

Introduction: Facet joint arthropathy is one of the myriad of abnormalities for low back pain and since conventional Magnetic resonance Imaging detects the facet joint pathologies poorly when compared to fat suppressed MRI sequences, fat suppressed MRI promises to be contributory to proper diagnosis and...

We aimed to assess the frequency of facet joint inflammatory features noted in routine radiology reports of lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies among patients with chronic low back pain. Facet joint arthropathy is one of the most common causes of chronic low back pain. It may ...
Low back pain (LBP) is the most common pain syndrome, and is an enormous burden and cost generator for society. Lumbar facet joints (FJ) constitute a common source of pain, accounting for 15–45% of LBP. Facet joint degenerative osteoarthritis is the mos
