1 Spondylolysis Ziva Petrin, MD March 3 rd, 2018

2 Terminology SpondyloLYSIS: Defect in the pars articularis

3 Terminology

4 Spondylolysis àspondylolisthesisà Spondyloptosis Yochum TR: Reactive sclerosis of a pedicle due to unilateral spondylolysis A case study. ACA J Chiro, 1980.

5 Spondylolysis: Types Dysplastic Isthmic Degenerative Traumatic Pathological

6 Lonstein JE. Spondylolisthesis in children. Cause, natural history, and management. Spine Dec (24): Epidemiology Incidental & asymptomatic in up to 10% of population Variable by population: Up to 40% in American Eskimo skeletons Familiar predisposition None found in newborns, progressively found after walking Cause unclear/controversial Patel DR, Nelson TL. Sports injuries in adolescents. Med Clin North Am. 2000;84:

7 Epidemiology: Athletes Active lysis: symptomatic lysis Higher incidence in athletes Causes approx. 50% of back pain in young athletes Incidence varies by sport Traditionally: gymnastics, diving Further study: various sports Rotation and hyperextension More common on non-dominant side

8 L1 L2 2% L3 3% L4 5-15% L %

9 Presentation Unilateral low back pain Focal or poorly defined May radiate into buttocks Muscle spasm +/- No associated neurological signs Insidious onset vs acute Stress fracture pain: achy at rest, progressively worse with exercise Aggravated with lumbar hyperextension

10 Diagnosis: History History: Sensitive and Specific Age: <20 Sex: Male Grødahl LH, Fawcett L, Nazareth M, Smith R, Spencer S, Heneghan N, Rushton A.Diagnostic utility of patient history and physical examination data to detect spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis in athletes with low back pain: A systematic review.

19 Surgery 9-15% of cases of symptomatic spondylolysis Indications: intractable pain progressive slip: 50-80% of spondylolysis progress to listhesis development of neurological deficits segmental spine instability Return to play outcome similar to non-op, however prolonged rehabilitation period

20 Return to Play Return to play: not until asymptomatic Greater than 80% of non-op patients return to play 7-12 months Most defects DO NOT heal, but become asymptomatic Bracing does not influence outcome or healing EXCEPT with early stage lysis Klein G, Mehlman CT, McCarty M.
