Characteristics of recurrent cases after conservative therapy in adolescent lumbar spondylolysis [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
Occasionally lumbar spondylolysis in adolescents will recur after conservative treatment. The goal of this study was to retrospectively review the conditions in which recurrence transpired in a subset of adolescent patients diagnosed with acute lumbar ...

Rates of Return to Sports and Recurrence in Pediatric Athletes after Conservative Treatment for Lumbar Spondylolysis

Spine Surgery and Related Research, 2022
Introduction: Lumbar spondylolysis is common in pediatric athletes, and many athletes can return to sports with conservative treatment. There are two initial treatment strategies: bony union or pain management, but the outcomes of these strategies have ...

An Acta Orthopaedica educational article: Treatment of pediatric spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis [PDF]

Acta Orthopaedica
Spondylolysis is defined as a defect or elongation in the pars interarticularis of the lumbar spine, either unilateral or bilateral. Growing children with bilateral spondylolysis may develop spondylolisthesis, i.e., forward slipping of the affected ...

CT-Based Characterization of Fracture Patterns in Pediatric Lumbar Spondylolysis [PDF]

JBJS Open Access
Background:. Spondylolysis is a stress fracture of the pars interarticularis. Precise fracture morphology may help dictate management and dictate whether direct repair with an intralaminar screw is possible.

The silent segment speaks: functional and clinical impact of concomitant spondylolysis in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Retrospective cohort study [PDF]

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
Background While adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is often asymptomatic, emerging evidence indicates that low back pain may affect a subset of patients, challenging the traditional notion of AIS as a painless deformity.

Biomechanical assessment of unilateral/bilateral lumbar spondylolysis with and without muscle weakness using finite element analysis [PDF]

Heliyon
Background: Spondylolysis is commonly linked to low back pain in athletes, and the connection between muscle weakness and spondylolysis is unclear. Therefore, this study examined the biomechanics of spondylolysis and influence of muscle weakness by ...
