520			_aAbstract: Few efforts have been made to assess the sufficiency of plain lumbosacral radiographs in demonstrating degenerative disc diseases. Significant correlation in the loss of posterior disc height (<5.4mm), posterior disc osteophytes, end plate sclerosis and irregularity, facet joint athropathy, spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis in conventional lumbosacral radiographs with disc protrusion, spinal nerve root compression spinal stenosis in lumbosacral MRI was discovered by Benneker et al. (2005). The aim of this study is to predict the presence of lumbar degenerative disc sequelae, which includes disc protrusion, disc bulge, nerve root compression and spinal canal stenosis, in plain lumbosacral radiography, using posterior disc height, intervertebral disc height, posterior osteophyte/s and facetal hypertrophy as parameters. We concluded that though radiography remains readily available and cost effective, its poor performance index proved its less likelihood of predicting degenerative disc sequelae. However, a good specificity percentage for its sequelae is yielded with the radiographic degenerative disc parameters.
