AAA-LAW Med-Legal Post of The Week: Disc protrusion- a generic term for a disc disorder in which the disc sticks out past the margin of the vertebral endplates. The term encompasses both disc herniation and disc bulging and is often used when the data from the imaging studies is insufficient to discriminate between an actual herniated, and a mere bulging, disc. This is when using a low resolution MRI machine can prove to be a costly mistake as the patient will likely need to redo the expensive MRI study with a stronger machine in order to get an accurate diagnosis. A good personal injury attorney will always recommend an MRI center with a high resolution and up to date machine in order to avoid such a problem.
