In modern rugby, the spine is subjected to great physical pressure, with an increased number of impacts, on both the cervical and the lumbar spine. This case report illustrates overuse injuries of the lumbar spine in international professional rugby players. A 32-year-old sportsman had been practising rugby for 24 years and was playing for a championship level French team when he started suffering from a right lateral pain in the lumbosacral spine. A CT scan showed a unilateral isthmolysis and a coronal irregular fracture of the right pars interarticularis of L5. This led to discussion of (1) the importance of the decision on the date of return to playing rugby and (2) the future of professional rugby players with chronic spinal injuries.
在现代橄榄球运动中，脊柱承受着巨大的身体压力，颈椎和腰椎受到的撞击次数不断增加。本病例报告阐述了国际职业橄榄球运动员腰椎的过度使用损伤情况。一名32岁的运动员从事橄榄球运动已有24年，当他开始感到腰骶部右侧疼痛时，他效力于一支法国冠军级别的球队。CT扫描显示L5右侧关节突单侧峡部裂和冠状面不规则骨折。这引发了关于（1）决定重返橄榄球比赛日期的重要性以及（2）患有慢性脊柱损伤的职业橄榄球运动员未来状况的讨论。
