What is a herniatic disc?
As the spinal disc becomes less elastic, it can rupture. When the disc ruptures, a portion of the spinal disc pushes outside its normal boundary--this is called a herniated disc.
What can happen if an intervertebral disk is hernieated?
As the spinal disc becomes less elastic, it can rupture. When the disc ruptures, a portion of the spinal disc pushes outside its normal boundary--this is called a herniated disc. When a herniated disc bulges out from between the vertebrae, the spinal nerves and spinal cord can become pinched. There is normally a little extra space around the spinal cord and spinal nerves, but if enough of the herniated disc is pushed out of place, then these structures may be compressed.
What is disc hydration loss?
* Loss of lumber lordosis* Loss of normal disc hydration seen at multiple levels * Disc bulge seen at L2 -3 L3-4 L4-5 and L5-s1 levels indenting anterior thecal sac with impingement of the corresponding exit nerve roots at l3-4 l4-5 and l50s1 levels* No spinal canal stenosis seen* Normal vertebral bodises

What mean intervertebral disc spaces are preserved?
Mean intervertebral disc spaces refer to the average height or distance between adjacent vertebrae in the spine, indicating the health and integrity of the intervertebral discs. When these spaces are preserved, it suggests that the discs are maintaining their normal structure and hydration, which is essential for proper spinal function and mobility. Preservation of these spaces can also indicate a lower risk of degenerative disc disease or other spinal disorders. Regular monitoring through imaging can help assess the condition of these disc spaces over time.
Can dried out discs slip out of place?
A disc does not slide anywhere. A disc is a piece of cartilage that sits securely between two vertebrae. When a disc loses hydration, it shrinks in size. This can cause an alteration in the relationship between the top vertebra and the bottom vertebra. When this happens, the disc begins to degenerate. This is the beginning of spinal arthritis or spinal degeneration (this is an arthritis of the spinal joints.) It also opens the door for the disc to become prone to injury such as tears within the disc fibers. Complications that are expected are a disc bulge or a disc herniation. A disc bulge is a problem with the jelly-like center of the disc. When the outside fibers tear, the jelly-like center of the disc squeezes to the boarder of the disc and bulges out (think of a jelly donut, with the donut being the disc and the jelly being the center of the disc. This bulge can push on other structures, such as nerves, and cause a great deal of discomfort. When the outside wall of the disc tears, the jelly-like center then is free to actually exit the disc all together. This is an official disc herniation. A "slipped disc" is a misnomer. It is a slang term that has no accurate description of true disc behavior. When someone says a disc has slipped, they are referring to a disc bulge. Remember, this is only the displacement of the jelly-like center of the disc, not the actual position of the disc itself.
What is a herinated disc?
Many patients with back pain, leg pain , or weakness of the lower extremity muscles are diagnosed with a herinated disc. When a disc herination occurs, the cushion that sits between the spinal vertebra is pushed out of it's normal position. A herinated disc would not be a problem if it wasn't for the spinal nerves which is very close to the edge of the spinal discs.
What is a charite disc used for?
It is an implant used to help people with spinal problems. It works by mimicking a natural spinal disc. It keeps the spine aligned while maintaining its natural flexibility.
What is the Patient Surgical Satisfaction Rate for spinal disc surgery?
The patient surgical satisfaction rate for spinal disc surgery will vary depending on the hospital and location. Overall people are satisfied with the surgery.
Do you need surgery if you have a disc flattening your spinal cord?
yes, certainly.
