Reply to "Spondylolysis"

A brace is often used for spondylolysis too. You're right that there is a difference between the spondies. Spondylolysis is a lumbar bone fracture and spondylolythesis is when there is slippage of the L4 or L5. The brace helps stabilize and support the back to allow either fibrous or bony healing in spondylolysis. It also serves as a reminder for adolescents who might be tempted to do too much.
