الوصف: Background Fifth lumbar vertebra (L5) spondylolysis has a lower bone union rate than non-L5 spondylolysis, but the reason for this is unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the differences in patient and lesion characteristics between L5 and non-L5 spondylolysis. Methods A total of 410 patients with lumbar spondylolysis aged 18 years or younger who were treated conservatively were enrolled. Patients and lesions were divided into L5 and non-L5 (L2–L4) spondylolysis. Factors, including sex, age, presence of spina bifida occulta, stage of the main side lesion, whether the lesion was unilateral or bilateral, presence and stage of the contralateral side lesion and treatment duration, were evaluated at the first visit and compared between the two groups. Results A total of 250 patients with 349 lesions were included. The bone union rate of L5 lesions was lower than that of non-L5 lesions (75% vs. 86%, p = 0.015). Patients with L5 spondylolysis were more likely to be male (86% vs. 66%) and younger (14.0 vs. 14.6 years) than patients with non-L5 spondylolysis. Lesions of L5 spondylolysis were more likely to be in a progressive stage (28% vs. 15%), less likely to be in a pre-lysis stage (28% vs. 43%) and more likely to be in a contralateral terminal stage (14% vs. 5.3%, p = 0.013) compared with lesions of non-L5 spondylolysis. Conclusions L5 spondylolysis was characterised by a lower bone union rate, more males, younger age, more progressive stage and more contralateral pseudarthrosis than non-L5 spondylolysis.
