简要总结
Lumbar spondylosis is a degenerative changes in disc and lumbar spine. Disc degeneration is age related and starts in the 3rd decade.
Reduction in the molecular size of the proteoglycans of the Nucleus Pulposus is associated with loss of viscol elastic properties, increased load bearing by the annulus is followed by focal damage and disc herniation in some cases. Disc prolapse and osteophytosis can formed root compression and indirect ischemic neuronal damage.
