i think this shows that osteoarrthritis.is due to a superimposed injury on a

congenital transsitional vertebra at L-5,could use your opinions. thanks

Hey mos,

When the x-ray was performed, were you standing or did they have you laying down on a table?

I was just curious because positioning a patient in different ways can produce different results. For example, while standing, upper body weight presses down on the spine, which makes it easier to spot things like narrowing of space between vertebrae/degenerative disc disease. However, if they have you laying face up on the x-ray table, the weight will be relieved and in some cases the space may look more normal.
