Comparative outcomes of motion-preserving techniques for lumbar spondylolysis in young athletes
PSS and DSC offer significant advantages over MST for treating symptomatic lumbar spondylolysis in young active adults, with DSC yielding the most favorable outcomes. The dual-stability construct, integrating intra- and intersegmental fixation, enhances pars healing and maintains disc health, supporting its use as a motion-preserving and biomechanically robust technique. These findings may guide surgical decision-making and contribute to improved recovery and functional restoration in athletic youth.
