Pars Fracture often occurs in people who are very active athletes, playing tennis, diving, performing martial arts or other types of sports that put stress on the spine. This type of fracture causes vertebral instability as a crack occurs in an area of the vertebral called the pars interarticularis. This type of fracture can lead to Spondylothesis. Our spinal specialists may suggest performing a minimally invasive procedure called Kyphoplasty that alleviates the pain and helps to stabilize, restore height and reduce deformity.
