Abstract
Sporting activity in wrestlers operated on for spondylolisthesis is no t well documented in the literature. We present the case of a wrestler with a grade I L5-S1 spondylolisthesis who was L4-S1 arthrodesed due to pain not relieved by conservative methods. One year after surgery h e had returned to full wrestling activity, including competitions. Two years later, he continues to wrestle at the same level of competition .
