spondylolysis/back pain

OBJECTIVE This case report describes the evaluation and conservative management of mechanical low back pain secondary to multiple-level lumbar spondylolysis with spondylolisthesis in a United States Marine Corps veteran within a Veterans Affairs Medical Center chiropractic clinic. METHODS The

OBJECTIVE To determine if new onset of low back pain in adults could be secondary to lumbar spondylolysis by establishing the age-related prevalence in the general population by examining patients undergoing computed tomography (CT) for reasons unrelated to back pain. METHODS The records of 2,555

METHODS Retrospective comparative cohort study. OBJECTIVE To elucidate the characteristics of low back pain (LBP) in adolescent patients with early-stage spondylolysis (ESS). BACKGROUND ESS is a common cause of acute LBP in adolescents. When treating patients with ESS, early diagnosis is important;

Low back pain (LBP) has recently become a common complaint in swimmers. The differential diagnosis of LBP in swimmers includes muscle and ligament sprains, Scheuerman disease, herniated disc, facet joint injury, tumors, infections, and spondylolysis. Although spondylolysis or listhesis is a frequent

BACKGROUND Athletes with low back pain may have sustained a bone stress injury in the lumbar neural arch, including spondylolysis. Single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) and reverse gantry computerized tomography (rg-CT) help localize bone stress response and

We present a 26-year-old athlete with severe low back pain associated with a fracture of a lumbar pedicle and contralateral spondylolysis. The difficulties of diagnosis are discussed together with the subject of segmental pain referral. A technique of operative management is described involving

METHODS A historical prospective case/control study of the significance and correlation between pre-employment findings of L5-S1 spondylolysis and sickness absenteeism due to low back pain among police officers. OBJECTIVE Examining the importance of pre-employment lumbar spine radiographs as a

The purpose of this study was to clarify the efficacy of conservative treatment in athletes with severe low back pain and spondylolysis, especially focusing on returning to original sporting activities. One hundred and four athletes (96 males and eight females), who consulted our sports medicine

Frequency of spondylolysis is higher among athletes who perform movements involving repeated flexion and extension of the spine than in the normal population. This article describes 50 patients (30 women, 20 men) with spondylolysis/spondylolisthesis grade 1 who were examined at the Norwegian

Aims: The primary aim of this study was to develop a diagnostic cluster of common clinical findings that would assist in ruling out an active spondylolysis in adolescent athletes with low back pain (LBP).
