M43.06 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM M43.06 became effective on October 1, 2019. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of M43.06 - other international versions of ICD-10 M43.06 may differ.
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].
Pars interarticularis refers to a small segment of bone that joins the facet joints in the back of the 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code M43.06 and a single ICD9 code, 738.4 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.

Type-1 Excludes mean the conditions excluded are mutually exclusive and should never be coded together. Excludes 1 means "do not code here."
