Cervical spine injuries in elite athletes can have detrimental consequences, which makes return to play for professional athletes after cervical spine injury controversial. Although most athletes can return to sport under some circumstances, such as single-level anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion for cervical disk herniation, return to play after cervical disk arthroplasty and multilevel fusion for cervical disk herniation remains controversial. Allowing athletes to return to play after a finding of cervical stenosis and in the incidence of pseudarthrosis remains unclear. This review provides a systematic framework to guide return-to-play decision-making in common cervical conditions in elite athletes. [Orthopedics. 2019; 42(4):e370-e375.].
精英运动员的颈椎损伤可能会产生不利后果，这使得职业运动员颈椎损伤后重返赛场存在争议。尽管大多数运动员在某些情况下可以重返运动，比如因颈椎间盘突出症进行单节段颈椎前路椎间盘切除融合术，但颈椎间盘置换术后以及因颈椎间盘突出症进行多节段融合术后重返赛场仍存在争议。允许运动员在发现颈椎管狭窄后重返赛场以及假关节的发生率尚不清楚。本综述提供了一个系统框架，以指导精英运动员常见颈椎疾病的重返赛场决策。[《骨科学》。2019年；42(4):e370-e375。]
