Vandaar dat de spondylolyse optreedt in dit gedeelte van de wervel. De meest voorkomende locatie voor dit optreden is in de laagste wervel van de wervelkolom, dit is de vijfde lendenwervel (L5). De mechanische belasting op lendenwervel L5 is namelijk het grootst. Deze wervel verbindt de wervelkolom met het bekken.
