Spondylolysis

Spondylolysis is not a congenital condition and has never been identified in a newborn infant, or a child who has not started to walk.  Defects can develop as a stress fracture in individuals predisposed to the condition, due to the shape or orientation of the bones at the base of your spine.  

There is an increased incidence in people who take part in certain physical, sporting activities or are post traumatic such as a car accident. To diagnose spodylolysis and ascertain if this is a recent injury, x-rays and a bone scan are indicated to conclusively diagnose your client.
