Asymptomatic patients with disc herniations
"This study looked at asymptomatic patients and performed MRI scans to determine the % of false positive findings for disc herniation.
This was a prospective, transverse and descriptive study, in workers of the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social WITHOUT low back pain; they were invited to be observed with magnetic resonance images of lumbar spine.
A total of 105 cases was interpreted by a radiologist, who did not know the patients' clinical conditions. 107 lumbar spine alterations studies were mixed in order to not influence in the results, and they were not included in the statistic analysis.
RESULTS: 55 % of the cases had discal alterations, 38 % presented bulging disk and 17 % presented protrusion. Other alterations were Schmorl's nodule, osteocondrosis, espondilolistesis, and annular tears.
55% !!!!!!! of ASYMPTOMATIC workers had disc alterations and 38%!!!! had herniation an NO PAIN!!!!
Helpful for your patients that won't let go of an image finding that is delay or derailing their improvement." - MPI
