Hi,
Facet arthropathy: degeneration of facet joints (like knee joint the joint between two vertebrae are called facet) of spine (as you have mentioned this is associated with the thickening of ligament connecting the two bones).
Right side annular tear with protrusion: there is a tear in the substances that holds your spinal disc in place due which the disc have protruded out from its location.
Endplate spurring: spurs are the small bony outgrown from the main bone called osteophytes that are present around the margins of vertebrae.
Interosseous hemangioma: bony tumor of vertebrae.
Conus medularis terminates: end of spinal cord√disc bulge measuring 8mm.
Canal narrowing: due to disc protrusion mentioned above there is reduction in the space of the spinal canal (space in vertebrae for the spinal cord).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
