What is pars interarticularis defect?

The definition of pars interarticularis defect is a unilateral or bilateral overuse or fatigue stress fracture involving the pars interarticularis of the posterior vertebral arch. This injury occurs almost exclusively in the lower lumbar region, most often at L5 [1].

Where is the pars interarticularis?

Pars interarticularis refers to a small segment of bone that joins the facet joints in the back of the spine.

What is pars defect in lumbar spine?

A pars defect or spondylolysis is a stress fracture of the bones of the lower spine. These fractures typically occur due to overuse. They can be on one or both sides of the vertebrae. It is a common cause of low back pain in children and adolescents.

What is spondylolisthesis with pars defect?

Spondylolisthesis is a condition where spinal vertebrae slip forward over one another. This is often caused when the crack of a pars fracture (spondylolysis) affects both sides of connection between the lamina and pedicles.

What is the difference between pars interarticularis and lamina?

Lamina: Think of this as the roof of your spine. The lamina is located on the back of your vertebra, and it helps protect your spinal cord. The pars interarticularis is part of the lamina. Pars interarticularis: This is a region of the lamina located between the facet joints.

What forms the pars interarticularis?

These are the bony surfaces palpated just lateral to the spinous processes. The pars interarticularis, or pars for short, is the part of vertebra located between the inferior and superior articular processes of the facet joint. In the transverse plane, it lies between the lamina and pedicle.

Is pars defect the same as spondylolysis?

It's a problem with the connection between vertebrae — the bones that make up the spine. Having spondylolysis can lead to small stress fractures or cracks, often after repeated injuries during sports. Spondylolysis is also known as a "pars defect" because it affects a tiny spinal bone called the pars interarticularis.

What is bilateral L5 spondylolysis?

Spondylolysis is a breakdown or fracture of the narrow bridge between the upper and lower facets, called the pars interarticularis. It can occur on one side (unilateral) or both sides (bilateral) and at any level of the spine, but most often at the fourth or fifth lumbar vertebra (Fig. 2).

Where is the L5 located?

fifth lumbar spine vertebraeThe fifth lumbar spine vertebrae (L5) is part of the greater lumbar region. To the human eye, this is the curve just above the buttocks, which is also commonly referred to as the small of the back.

What is the difference between spondylosis and spondylolisthesis?

Spondylosis involves the separation of the pars interarticularis. In contrast, spondylolisthesis is defined by a slipped vertebra. When one bone of the spine slips forward over another, it causes damage to the spinal structure.

How is l5 pars defect treated?

Most patients with pars defect do not require surgery and can experience relief with medications and rest. Anti-inflammatory medications and muscle relaxers are commonly used to treat pain. Often, a lumbar corset back brace is prescribed for the acute phase of the injury.

What does grade 1 spondylolisthesis of l4 on l5 mean?

One commonly used description grades spondylolisthesis, with grade 1 being least advanced, and grade 5 being most advanced. The spondylolisthesis is graded by measuring how much of a vertebral body has slipped forward over the body beneath it. Grade 1: 25% of vertebral body has slipped forward.

The ICD code M430 is used to code Spondylolysis

Spondylolysis is a defect of a vertebra. More specifically it is defined as a defect in the pars interarticularis of the vertebral arch. The great majority of cases occur in the lowest of the lumbar vertebrae (L5), but spondylolysis may also occur in the other lumbar vertebrae, as well as in the thoracic vertebrae.
