A member asked:
Are lumbar avulsions common in adults? could working out/lifting weights cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lifting, no: Avulsions R due 2 a strong ligament attached 2 an area of the spine Bing put under sudden stress/traumatic. It being stronger than the bone, pulls a piece of bone from its attachment. U would know if this were the cause, as the energy needed is significant.
