The xrays show that there is no slippage with extention/flexation. I MRI said I had a very very spondelethesis slip almost not enough to be noted. The CT scan said there was NO Spondolesethes and the 2nd MRI said the same NO spondy. Yes L3-4 has the degenerative and the small buldge. Im confused on what you stated “If the disc is normal at this level without a slip, the pars fractures can be repaired but that scenario is unlikely.”
Do you mean they can be repaired on its own or with surgical intervention. I know this is just a forum. And who would do the surgury the Neoro or the Ortho ? What is strange also is that the Ortho ordered a Bone Desity Scan and that came back with no fractures??? The CT Scan clearly shows a sharp fracture. Should I have had a Bone Scan instead. What questions should I be asking the Ortho on my next visit in april??? Is there a way to find out if they are old or new fractures or is that of no use anyway. And Finally as an unbiased opion do you think I will ever go back full duty with or without surgury? Sorry for so many questions.
