[edit] Proposed merger

I've removed the tag proposing a merge with spondylosis. Although the disorders have very similar names–and probably cause a great deal of confusion–they are quite distinct.

Spondylosis is a type of osteoarthritis affecting the spine; it is primarily a disorder of the intervertebral joints.

Spondylolysis (this page) is, essentially, a fracture of a spinal vertebra. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 21:51, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
