What is anatomic wedging of vertebrae?

This refers to the normal apppearance of some vertebrae, specifically the lumbar vertebrae, which have a wedged shape. The anterior aspect of lumbar vertebrae are shorter than the posterior aspect, giving them a wedged shape from posterior to anterior. This shape helps contribute to the lumbar lordosis (normal curve). The lumbar curve is called an elliptical curve (so not a "c" curve like the neck but more like an ellipse). The vertebrae can appear like this if there is a past compression fracture or fractures.
