A disc protrusion with osteophytes refers to a condition in the spine where there is a bulging or herniation of an intervertebral disc along with the formation of bony outgrowths called osteophytes. The disc protrusion occurs when the gel-like center of the disc pushes out through a tear in the outer layer, potentially causing compression of nearby nerves or the spinal cord. Osteophytes are bony spurs that form in response to degeneration or injury, often seen in conditions like osteoarthritis. This combination of disc protrusion and osteophytes can contribute to symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the affected area.
