Abstract des Autors
Though spondylolysis is a possibility when a patient presents with acute low-back pain, the condition may not be apparent despite careful physical exam and radiographic studies. In this case of a competitive 13-year-old female athlete who had recurring lumbosacral pain, symptoms did not resolve with a trial of activity restriction and flexion exercises. After radiographs and a technetium bone scan detected subtle stress fractures, better results were obtained by immobilizing the region with an orthosis. For patients whose symptoms don't resolve with immobilization, surgery may be needed. Verf.-Referat
