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...)
