Abstract
This historical review covers the earliest recorded findings and descriptions of lumbar spondylolysis, as well as the century-old etiologic controversy regarding this condition. The importance of the work of Robert zu Coblenz in 1855 is recognized regarding the biomechanical and clinical understanding of the nature of spondylolysis. Other important medical personalities are discussed through an extensive look at the literature.
