SURGERY TO REPAIR PARS DEFECT
Pars defects can lead to pain in your lower back. This can be repaired by placing a screw across the fracture, allowing it to heal over time.
Pars defect is a condition that affects the lumbar (lower) spine. The front and back parts of your vertebra (spine bones) become separated as a result of repeated stress and strain.
This can cause you to experience severe pain in your lower back. Your surgeon can carry out a procedure to treat this, allowing your bone to repair itself.
Recovery time for pars defect repair surgery can vary for each individual. You may be kept in hospital for up to a week and during this time, you may have to wear a back brace. This is to ensure your back and vertebrae are held in a fixed position. Our nurses will continue to monitor and care for you whilst in hospital.
When you’re ready to go home you may be given pain relief medication. Your consultant will advise you on your rehabilitation process, including walking and light exercise. They will also arrange follow-up appointments for you.
If you have any questions or concerns, your consultant will answer these for you.
