There is a relatively high incidence of radiographically identified spondylolysis in the general population, but the vast majority of these lesions probably occur without associated symptoms. Symptomatic pars lesions appear to be particularly a clinical problem in adolescents, especially adolescent athletes. The optimal diagnostic and treatment algorithms are not well identified in the current literature. Multiple imaging studies may have a role in the diagnosis of a pars lesion, and treatment seems likely to require at least relative rest and physical rehabilitation with consideration of bracing or, rarely, surgical intervention depending on the clinical context.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsm.34.6.415","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,27]],"date-time":"2002-07-27T06:32:32Z","timestamp":1027751552000},"page":"415-422","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":250,"title":["Spondylolysis: a critical review"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"C J","family":"Standaert","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S A","family":"Herring","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2000,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024051400340169000_34.6.415.1","first-page":"23","volume":"117","year":"1976","journal-title":"Clin Orthop"},{"key":"2024051400340169000_34.6.415.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"627","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.153.3.6494460","volume":"153","year":"1984","journal-title":"Radiology"},{"key":"2024051400340169000_34.6.415.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"699","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-198466050-00008","volume":"66","year":"1984","journal-title":"J Bone Joint Surg [Am]"},{"key":"2024051400340169000_34.6.415.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"233","DOI":"10.1002\/ar.1091090207","volume":"109","year":"1951","journal-title":"Anat Rec"},{"key":"2024051400340169000_34.6.415.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00002517-199306050-00007"},{"key":"2024051400340169000_34.6.415.6","first-page":"317","volume":"18","year":"1978","journal-title":"J Sports Med Phys Fitness"},{"key":"2024051400340169000_34.6.415.7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"57","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465000280012101","volume":"28","year":"2000","journal-title":"Am J Sports Med"},{"key":"2024051400340169000_34.6.415.8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1298","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-197153070-00005","volume":"53","year":"1971","journal-title":"J Bone Joint Surg [Am]"},{"key":"2024051400340169000_34.6.415.9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-199104000-00005"},{"key":"2024051400340169000_34.6.415.10","first-page":"658","volume":"117","year":"1976","journal-title":"Clin Orthop"},{"key":"2024051400340169000_34.6.415.11","first-page":"259","volume":"6","year":"1982","journal-title":"International Orthopaedics"},{"key":"2024051400340169000_34.6.415.12","unstructured":"Hambly MF, Wiltse LL, Peek RD.
