A member asked:
Can spondylolysis run in families?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Definitely: There is a genetic component for spondylolysis. Certain populations have rates approaching 50%, while others have very low rates. While genetics plays a role, your parents having it does not necessarily mean you have it.
