he bright white spot that you noticed on your x-ray could be an indication of a stress fracture or a healing fracture of the pars interarticularis, which is a small bony bridge that connects the upper and lower facets of a vertebra. Spondylolisthesis is a condition in which one vertebra slips forward over the vertebra below it, and it is commonly caused by a defect in the pars interarticularis. The white spot that you observed could be a sign that the fracture is healing or has already healed.
