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.
Uncovertebral joint osteophytes, or bone spurs, occur where the vertebral bodies of the third through seventh cervical vertebrae meet.one loss, disc degeneration, osteoarthritis and other spinal conditions place excess stress on the aging vertebrae. The body responds by growing bony nodules called osteophytes, or bone spurs, to compensate for diminished spinal stability. Bone spurs are common and do not exhibit symptoms in most cases.
