Lumbar spondylolysis in adolescent athletes

J P Garry et al. J Fam Pract. 1998 Aug.

Abstract

Lumbar spondylolysis is a common cause of low back pain in adolescent athletes. The early diagnosis and treatment of this condition will result in decreased morbidity and an earlier return to full activity for most patients. We report a case of lumbar spondylolysis in an adolescent athlete and review current diagnosis and management of this condition.
