    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Radiology
    • Spinal Surgery

    Background:

    • Upper lumbar spondylolysis is an uncommon condition with limited reported cases.
    • Diagnosis can be difficult, and surgical outcomes are often unsatisfactory.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of symptomatic upper lumbar spondylolysis were identified and reviewed.
    • An additional three patients with this condition were found during a radiological review of 205 back pain patients.

    Findings:

    • The condition appears more prevalent in men.
    • Trauma is suggested as a major contributing factor to symptomatic presentation.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the diagnostic challenges associated with upper lumbar spondylolysis.
    • Suggests a need for further research into effective treatment strategies.
    • Emphasizes the role of trauma in the etiology of this rare spinal condition.
