[Expert assessment of "traumatic" lumbar intervertebral disk displacement]
Abstract:
A prolapse of a lumbar intervertebral disc as a consequence of trauma is rather often the subject of medical litigation. This paper shows the different aspects of federal and private insurance companies that insure accident consequences. Items hinting at a causal connection between trauma and prolapse are shown. A prolapse of a lumbar intervertebral disc can only very seldom be certified as being traumatic.
