L5 Pars Defect
l5 pars defect or L5 pars defect most often refers to those dealing with the medical condition known as spondylolysis. The condition is a contributor of low back pain and in some cases, stress fractures, caused by a slippage or misalignment in the spine. A defect in the L5 pars interarticularis region is the chief contributing factor in approximately 95% of spondylolysis cases. However, other areas of the spine can be involved.
