this is in a list of vertebra, such as Fischwirbel, Keilwirbel, Plattwirbel

: The entire collocation "slight wedge shaped vertebra" doesn't sound right to my English ears. For that matter, even 'slightly wedge-shaped vertebra' doesn't. There must be better way of saying it, but I can't seem to put my finger on it right now.

slight wedge-shaped deformation of the vertebral body
Der Begriff Keilwirbel besagt, dass ein Wirbel von der normalen Form abweicht.

That is why I have included 'deformation' in the rendering I have suggested.
