Characteristics of Adult-Onset Acute Lumbar Spondylolysis Treated Conservatively [PDF]
Spine Surgery and Related Research, 2023 Introduction: Lumbar spondylolysis typically arises during adolescence, whereas its onset in adulthood is rare. Several studies have reported incidentally identified terminal-stage spondylolysis in adults, but only one case series has investigated acute ...

Lumbar spondylolysis - Current concepts review. [PDF]
J Clin Orthop Trauma, 2021 Lumbar pars interarticularis (PI) injury or spondylolysis occurs only in humans. This represents a stress fracture of the PI. Excessive loading in repetitive hyperextension is a significant risk factor and occurs most commonly at L5 followed by L4. It is bilateral in 80% of symptomatic cases but can be unilateral defect as well which runs a more benign

Diagnostic Performance of the Darth Vader Sign for the Diagnosis of Lumbar Spondylolysis in Routinely Acquired Abdominal CT [PDF]
Diagnostics, 2023 Spondylolysis is underdiagnosed and often missed in non-musculoskeletal abdominal CT imaging. Our aim was to assess the inter-reader agreement and diagnostic performance of a novel “Darth Vader sign” for the detection of spondylolysis in routine axial ...
