For high-level athletes, most experts consider that 1-level arthrodesis in cervical spine surgery does not prevent return to play. Nevertheless, return remains controversial in cases of 2-level fusions. We report the case of a 27-year-old professional rugby player. He had had a double cervical fusion C5C6 and C6C7 for cervical hernia and was allowed to continue rugby activities afterward. Four years after this surgery, his neck was forced in hyperflexion during a match and complete tetraplegia occurred. A computed tomography scan showed a C3C4 unilateral facet dislocation. The patient was rapidly operated on. At follow-up, 2 years after the accident, the patient remained tetraplegic with no neurologic improvement. If no definitive conclusion can be established on this first observation, many precautions must be taken before a return-to-play decision, especially in contact sports.
