Question
Can a children’s hospital treat spondylolysis?
Answer
For children with spondylolysis, it’s first necessary to assess the extent of the condition. Generally speaking, no special treatment is required, even if the scar does not heal slowly on its own; surgical intervention is not necessary. If the child develops more obvious clinical symptoms again, such as abnormal limb movement or significant pain in the lower limbs, pain in the lumbar sacral region, then surgical treatment may be needed.
