Clinically Relevant Anatomy
[edit | edit source]
Modic changes (MC) are bone marrow lesions seen within a vertebral body on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), suggestive of being associated with low back pain (LBP). [1]
Mechanism of Injury / Pathological Process
[edit | edit source]
Research on the subject has been published since 1988 when MC were first identified by Dr. Michael Modic. Subsequent publications on the subject provide incremental gains in understanding of this new diagnostic entity. Though causes and mechanisms responsible for formation of MC are still poorly understood, progress is being made in linking his spinal phenotype with disc degeneration and LBP.
