Abstract:
New technology is helpful in the treatment of patients with spinal cord injury, but we are still unable to reverse the effects of the initial injury. The major focus in the acute treatment of spinal cord trauma has remained prevention of secondary injury and complications thereafter. This article describes different types of spinal cord injuries, treatment, and statistics.
