I think your just fine. For this information mostly was not supplied before the fusions took place. Arthritis is a secondary affect that took place. Just as it did in my cervical neck fusions.
This means, compare the before fusion MRI report with this updated MRI report, and there you have the proof you need.

It will really all come down to what your initial x-rays looked like, not what your current ones show, and what has or has not changed since then. From your positioning of the argument the DJD wold be termed a flow through condition if it had not existed previously.

Now that is a question for your attorney, as it is very hard to answer without knowing your whole case, or what your attorney has been going after.
