(OCAD) Spondylophyte fracture – relevant? (CT)

F65 referred for deep back pain with elevated D-dimer.

No pulmonary embolism, aortic dissection, pneumonia, tumor or pleural
effusion.

There’s this fractured osteophyte at Th10/11. Looks chronic to me.
Sometimes I see this but never really thought about the relevance.
Do you think it could be a probable pain generator?

Thanks, and have a good day!

Andrei
