A member asked:
Can a l5 bilateral pars fracture heal 8 months after injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If it was caused by an acute injury, the answer is yes. If your pars defect is developmental (from birth). It will not heal. Get a follow up evaluation. X-rays, an mri, or bone scan can help determine if there is healing.
