I had a unilateral pars defect at L5 , it was repaired using Pedical screw, rod, and hook technique. Putting the fracture under compression with allograft and BMP's. 100% healed and recovered.
nice video!

That is a classic repair technique, patients do very well. I am glad you had an excellent outcome. Thank you for reaching out and sharing 👍

@@SpineSurgeonSpeaks I really think the minimally invasive approach using the bucks technique with fluoroscopy would have been a faster recovery as far as muscle disruption but i will take what i can get. Thank you for the reply!!

Pars interarticularis defect at L5-S1 level in form of fracture line in bilateral inferior articular process of L5 vertebra
Sir please help me

[@SpineSurgeonSpeaks]

I would recommend an in-person consultation with a spine surgeon. There are many nuances to this condition that need to be considered when it comes to choosing treatment. Good luck!

Pars fracture can be repaired or not? In grade 1 spondylolisthesis

[@SpineSurgeonSpeaks]

Most adults with a pars-fracture (grade-I) end up with a L5-S1 laminectomy-fusion.
In teenagers/ adolescents/ younger patients there are some in-situ pars-fracture repair techniques which are used sometimes, but for adults the surgical treatment is a laminectomy-fusion.

Most will need a fusion, but you can ask your surgeon about the options that may be right for you. Good luck Sir 👍
