Abstract
Study design: Systematic review.
Objective: The primary purpose of this article was to survey the present literature and report on return-to-play (RTP) outcomes in elite athletes after undergoing motion preservation spinal surgery (MPSS).
Background: For elite performance, athletes require adequate mobility throughout the trunk, torso, and spine to achieve maximal force production. Therefore, elite athletes who have failed conservative treatment may seek to undergo motion-preserving surgical options, such as total disc arthroplasty and lumbar microdiscectomy. Individual studies have reported on RTP outcomes following individual motion preservation surgical procedures, but no systematic reviews have formally reported on RTP outcomes, postoperative performance, and reoperation rates on these procedures in elite athletes.
Materials and methods: A systematic review was conducted from inception until February 2024 according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. One reviewer queried PubMed for relevant studies that reported on RTP outcomes in elite athletes after MPSS based on title and abstract (n = 1404). After the original search query, an additional reviewer screened full-length articles. A total of 11 studies met the inclusion criteria. Special consideration was given to RTP rates, postoperative performance, and reoperation rates.
Results: A total of 612 elite athletes from the National Basketball Association, Major League Baseball, National Football League, National Hockey League, and other professional sporting organizations underwent cervical and lumbar MPSS to treat various spinal pathologies. Various motion-sparing techniques were used to treat various pathologies. After undergoing MPSS, RTP rates ranged from 75% to 100% for lumbar cases and 83.3% to 100% for cervical cases. Postoperative performance varied with some athletes performing at the same level before surgery and some performing at a decreased level.
Conclusions: MPSS is a feasible option when properly indicated. Future studies are needed to compare return to sport rates, postoperative performance, and reoperation rates between MPSS to spinal arthrodesis.
