Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Edgar G. Walker, J.), entered October 28, 2010, dismissing the complaint and bringing up for review an order, same court and Justice, entered October 20, 2010, which granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment on the ground that plaintiff did not sustain a “serious injury” within the meaning of Insurance Law § 5102 (d), unanimously affirmed, without costs. Appeal from the aforesaid order, unanimously dismissed, without costs, as subsumed in the appeal from the judgment.
Defendants also established prima facie that any injury to the cervical spine was not caused by the accident by submitting the affirmed report of defendants’ radiologist, who opined that the bulging discs in plaintiffs cervical spine were degenerative, consistent with plaintiffs age and the normal aging process, and not caused by plaintiffs accident (see Pommells v Perez, 4 NY3d 566, 579 [2005]; Rodriguez v Abdallah, 51 AD3d 590, 590-591 [2008]). The doctor’s detailed non-conclusory explanation for his opinion was sufficient to shift the burden of proof on the issue of causation to plaintiff (cf. June v Akhtar, 62 AD3d 427, 428 [2009]).
In opposition, plaintiff failed to raise an issue of fact. The affirmation of plaintiffs radiologist contained no conclusion as to causation, and thus failed to rebut defendants’ radiologist’s conclusion as to the causation of the bulging discs (see Pommells, 4 NY3d at 580; Rodriguez, 51 AD3d at 592). In addition, the orthopedic report submitted by plaintiff was insufficient to refute the range-of-motion findings of defendants’ orthopedist, since he never examined her and, although a. physician at the facility where plaintiff received treatment, failed to provide the medical records on which he based his conclusions (see Euvino v Rauchbauer, 71 AD3d 820, 820 [2010], lv denied 15 NY3d 713 [2010]; see also Bandoian v Bernstein, 254 AD2d 205, 205 [1998]). Plaintiff also failed to submit any evidence of current limitations in range of motion (see Nagbe v Minigreen Hacking Group, 22 AD3d 326, 326-327 [2005]).
