Facet joints are the only synovial joints in the spine and can be involved in a large number of pathological processes including arthropathy, infection, inflammation, trauma and tumour. In this review article, we present a spectrum of pathologies that arise from or involve facet joints that we have encountered in our tertiary orthopaedic and spinal centre. The objective of this review is to create an aide memoire for the general radiologist who may encounter facet joint pathology, which they may not be familiar with.
