Nine patients with serious cervical spine injuries that occurred while they were playing rugby were seen in a British Columbia acute spinal cord injury unit during the period 1975-82. All the injuries had occurred during the "scrum" or the "tackle". Two of the patients were rendered permanently quadriplegic, and one patient died. There is a need for a central registry that would record all cervical spine injuries in rugby players as well as for changes in the rules of the game.
1975年至1982年期间，不列颠哥伦比亚省急性脊髓损伤病房收治了9名在进行橄榄球运动时发生严重颈椎损伤的患者。所有损伤均发生在“争球”或“阻截”过程中。其中两名患者永久性四肢瘫痪，一名患者死亡。有必要设立一个中央登记处，记录橄榄球运动员的所有颈椎损伤情况，同时也需要对比赛规则进行修改。
