In this series, Dr. Dave Yousem provides his perspective on degenerative joint disease (DJD) as a practicing neuroradiologist. He reviews the current nomenclature for disc pathology, some of the common locations for disc herniation and the surgical implications/outcomes of the varying degrees of disc injury. The Degenerative Joint Disease Mastery series provides more than a dozen case reviews of the diagnoses surrounding DJD.
