Rigid intrasegmental fixation for repair of a pars defect in a young athlete: case report and description of technique.
Stabilization for the treatment of a pars defect frequently involves fusion with sacrifice of a motion segment. Intrasegmental stabilization has been described, however, with preservation of the motion segment by using various constructs. We describe a method of obtaining rigid fixation across a pars defect without sacrificing a motion segment.
