A member asked:

What are the chances of a l5 bilateral pars fracture healing 7 months after injury?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Spondylolysis: These pars fractures rarely heal with bracing or external stabilization. If they become symptomatic with instability fusion is required. Many people live their whole live with pars fractures and never have any treatment.
