Retrospective study. ⋯ It seems that upper cervical levels are more likely to degenerate and to have more advanced degrees of degeneration than the lower cervical levels.

Cohort study. ⋯ This study suggests that athletes with preexisting cervical spine pathology were less likely to be drafted than controls. Players with preexisting cervical spine pathology demonstrated a shorter career than those without; however, statistically based performance and numbers of games started were not different. Players with cervical spinal stenosis and those with a history of previous surgery demonstrated no difference in performance-based outcomes and no reports of neurological injury during their careers.
