Anterior osteophytes are bone spurs that develop on the front, or anterior aspect, of the vertebrae.They appear to be more common in the cervical spine (neck) than in other spinal segments, as the neck is considerably more prone to degenerative conditions that contribute to osteophyte formation.nterior osteophytes develop on the front side of the vertebrae, largely because the spineâs structure allows the anterior side to compress further than the posterior.
What can I do to help myself at home? Osteophytic spurring is seen at c4 to c6 vertebrae on X-ray. Also can you tell me what the causes of anterior and posterior osteophytic spurring are? Answer: Osteophytes or bone spurs are extra bony growths on the joints of the spine. It can be on any spinal region such as cervical spine, lumbar spine. Osteophytic spurs can be present in other area of the joints like knee joint, wrist joint, shoulder joint etc. When they are rubbed against the adjacent bone or the nerve they cause extreme pain.
