Cervical disc replacement (CDR) is a viable option for the surgical treatment of degenerative disc disease however long term follow up data regarding this operative technique is poor specifically relating to traumatic complications. We know of no previous reports of bilateral cervical pedicle fractures occurring adjacent to CDR and anterior cervical spine instrumentation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Presentation of case:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 46 year-old with a history of C6C7 CDR and C4-6 anterior cervical decompression and fusion was an unrestrained driver involved in a road traffic accident and suffered bilateral C7 pedicle fractures and a right C6C7 facet joint fracture-subluxation without neurological deficit. Reduction and fixation via a posterior approach achieved a satisfactory alignment and the patient made an uneventful recovery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A significant force coupled with cervical fixation resulted in a bilateral pedicle fracture of the cervical spine with preserved neurological function.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The protective role of the CDR has not been previously demonstrated but may have played a role in this case.
