Hi Sariera,

Welcome to the Spine Patient Society.

I've spoken to many Spine Patients over the years that have had lumbar spondylolysis subsequently corrected with spinal fusion. Here's a great read that might help answer some of your questions about spondylolysis: http://www.spinepatientsociety.org/education/patient-education-2/?api_path=topic/4f2755f06f8808cff82912db4926b130

Also, there are more articles here in our Patient Education section of the SPS Website. Here's a link to some articles on the lumbar spine (decompression, fusion, etc.) that might help, as they have great visuals of the anatomy of the spine:

I wish you the very best and hopefully others will chime in with personal experience.
