Hi,
Pars defect in L5, it is on both sides can cause slippage of the vertebra called as spondylolisthesis, but this is a chronic process and does not occur at such an early stage. In my opinion, your problem was not related to the pars defect.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
