In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn more about the natural healing process of pars stress injuries in adolescents and young adults by documenting bony bridging across stress fractures using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). It is hypothesized that many of these injuries can and will heal with appropriate rest and rehabilitation. Long-term, it is hoped that follow-up MRI exams can help guide clinical management by visualizing the healing and allowing individuals to return to play after bony bridging has occurred. Participants will be asked to undergo serial MRI scans over the course of a 12-month period and answer a brief questionnaire at each visit.
