Spondylosis deformans is a generalized disease of aging that is secondary to the degeneration of intervertebral disks that affects the vertebral bodies of all animals. It is characterized by the formation of bony spurs or, less commonly, complete bony bridges around the diseased disk and thus reestablishes stability to the weakened amphiarthrodial joint. The rate and type of the disk degeneration therefore effect the occurrence of spondylosis deformans. It should be noted that the spurs do not originate from the end-plate but arise from the circumference of the end-plate and are thus "periarticular" in nature.
