Best Practice Case Studies-Disc Herniation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses cases of disc herniation in young males, detailing the differences between disc protrusion and disc extrusion using MRI images. A 19-year-old male with right-sided sciatica after squatting shows an anterior osteophyte at L4 in radiographs. Disc pathologies are explained, with protrusion having a wider neck than apex, while extrusion has a narrower neck. Another case, a 25-year-old male, displays an extrusion with nerve root compression during a deadlift. The discussed case reveals a disc protrusion at L4-L5, treated with epidural steroid injections.
