Abstract

Objective: to analyze the treatments applied in minor patients with spondylolysis and to see its relationship with the return to sport.

Method: articles in English, Spanish or Portuguese published between 2015 and 2020 published in PubMed, Medline, Cinahl, Scopus, Sport Discuss and Web Of Science were reviewed, selecting those that reflect the spondylolysis treatment in children under 18 years and their return to sport. 10 articles that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected and analyzed.

Conclusion: conservative treatment is the first option for all patients with spondylolysis, but it seems to be effective in the early and progressive stages, being the ideal option for terminal spondylolysis a minimally invasive intervention. Both treatments must be consistent with a period of rest from sports activity and progressive physical rehabilitation before resuming it.
