Pars Interarticularis Fusion

$Fact 9 of 12 — Pars Fracture A pars fracture is a stress fracture in a small but critical part of the spine called the pars interarticularis. It’s common in younger patients and athletes, and it can lead to instability or even progression to spondylolisthesis if it doesn’t heal properly. In this video, I explain how pars fractures happen, what symptoms to watch for, and when treatment ranges from rest and bracing to surgery — depending on pain, stability, and lifestyle goals. #ParsFracture #Spin$

📌 How to Avoid the Trap: Pars Defect That Looks Like a Facet Joint on Axial MRI Shape, Level, and Position — The Three Keys to Correct Identification On axial lumbar MRI, a pars defect can mimic the appearance of a facet joint, especially when there is an irregular gap that resembles a joint space. To distinguish them correctly, three criteria must be checked: 1. Level A true facet joint appears only at the level where the superior and inferior articular processes meet.

$Michael Gallizzi MD | MS FAAOS on Instagram: "A pars fracture, or spondylolysis, is a stress fracture in the pars interarticularis, a small segment of bone connecting the facet joints in the lower back (most often L5). It’s common in young athletes due to repetitive back-bending sports (gymnastics, football) and causes low back pain that worsens with activity, sometimes leading to nerve pain (sciatica) or slippage (spondylolisthesis) if both sides fracture. Treatment involves rest, bracing, phys$
