Dr. Edward Hellman answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Potentially: An increased lumbar lordosis causes increased stress on the pars interarticularis. A pars defect is essentially a stress fracture that occurs in the pars interarticularis that goes on to a nonunion. So they can absolutely be related.
