A person's spine consists of vertebrae which lock together through small bones called facets, thus creating the spine. In facet sclerosis, the facets have become malformed due â¦ to thickening and hardening which causes a great deal of discomfort because the spine is not locking together as smoothly as it should do.o... hypertrophic facet sclerosis means that (some) joints in the spine look overgrown. And (since I'm guessing this was diagnosed via x-ray) the sclerosis refers to the extra whiteness that shows up on the x-ray in the area of those joints.
