=====Superior articular process===== {{ ::supraspinousligament.png?400|}} The superior [[articular process]]es or prezygapophysis project upward from a lower [[vertebra]], and their articular surfaces are directed more or less backward. [[Fracture]]s of the superior [[articular process]] are rarely seen in clinical practice. Repetitive spinal movements may lead to fractures of the [[pars interarticularis]], resulting in [[spondylolysis]]. see [[Superior articular process fracture]]
