Sounds like a great idea. How about posting an absract summary of your findings? In particular I'd be interested in your proposed aetiology, I know there's some argument over site (ipsi v contralateral side) and the proposed mechanism (direct impaction of inferior articular process on subjacent pars v rotational stress on the pars); and would like your opinion. Then to the meat: altering mechanics (side-on, front-on, mixed), and therapy (what do you think is worth addressing, tight/weak/strong/loose/mechanics...)

Sorry for the last reply was to a friend in Sth Aust - Iam working for the swansea Cricket and Rugby club in Sth Wales so would be interested in you results as have 2 players in the youth sqaud diagnosed with stress fractures and 2 others with spondilolithesis

Sounds great Lindsay, have a few local physios keen on the subject. ditto Rod Whiteley's request.

If you have some interesting findings you would like to present physiobase would be happy to add them to the world headlines on the home page. Then all could see.
