Displacement of Lumbar Intervertebral disc without Myelopathy - 722.10
Displacement of lumbar intervertebral disc without myelopathy refers to a condition where the disc between two lumbar vertebrae shifts or protrudes, but does not cause compression or damage to the spinal cord. Symptoms can include back pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the legs. Treatment may involve rest, physical therapy, pain management, and in severe cases, surgery.
Disc desiccation is the loss of fluid in the intervertebral discs. When this occurs at each lumbar lore, the disc is not herniated or bulging and there is no surgical treatment.
The largest intervertebral disc is typically found between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae in the lower back. This disc is known as the L4-L5 disc and tends to be larger due to the increased weight-bearing and range of motion demands placed on the lower back.

Displacement of a disc.
the lumbar region (lower back)
The intervertebral disc has undergone compression.
Symptoms of lumbar disc displacement can include lower back pain, pain that radiates down the leg (sciatica), numbness or tingling in the leg, weakness in the leg muscles, and difficulty with movement or flexibility in the lower back. It's important to seek medical evaluation for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
No, the intervertebral disc is not made up of hyaline cartilage. The intervertebral disc is composed of fibrocartilage, which is a specialized type of cartilage that is tough and able to withstand compressive forces in the spine.
