A member asked:

Strained back 9 months ago. i was extremely active. been to 4 spine specialist was told had a pars frac. after mri. had a ct scan no frac. need help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Heal: It could have healed or maybe whoever read the MRI was not accurate. The other findings is the ct scan was not interpreted properly or may not have picked up the pars fracture. Hey i'm aware that they recommend bone scans for pars fracture.
