Default Flexion/Extension Xray Results
I guess it looks good.
Multilevel degenerative changes are agin identified throughout the visualized lumbar spine.Vascular calcifications are also noted.There is stable anterior wedging of the superior end plates of L2-4: unchanged.The soft tissues are unremarkable.There is slight limitation on flexion.

What was going on at L2-L4 to cause anterior wedging? Normally the curve is "lordotic," not kyphotic? Compression fractures, perhaps?

You can Google "spinal instability, AMA guidelines" for an explanation of dynamic instability (probably why they ordered flex/ext x-rays to begin with)...

I had compression fractures L2 thru L4 40 yrs ago. How can you tell the curve is kyphotic and not lordotic????
