The Usa

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) affects over 200,000 people in the USA and is a major source of morbidity, mortality, and societal cost. Management of SCI includes several components. Acute management includes medical agents and surgical treatment that usually includes either all or a combination of reduction, decompression, and stabilization. Physical therapy and rehabilitation and late onset SCI problems also play a role. A review of the literature in regard to surgical management of SCI patients in the acute setting was undertaken. The controversy surrounding whether reduction is safe, or not, and whether prereduction magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to rule out traumatic disc herniation is essential is discussed. The controversial role of timing of surgical intervention and the choice of surgical approach in acute, incomplete, and acute traumatic SCI patients are reviewed. Surgical treatment is an essential tool in management of SCI patients and the controversy surrounding the timing of surgery remains unresolved. Presurgical reduction is considered safe and essential in the management of SCI with loss of alignment, at least as an initial step in the overall care of a SCI patient. Future prospective collection of outcome data that would suffice as evidence-based is recommended and necessary.

Complete Spinal Cord Injury

✓Cordectomy is an effective treatment option in patients in whom posttraumatic syringomyelia develops following complete spinal cord injuries. Since the introduction of cordectomy, numerous approaches to the surgical treatment of posttraumatic syringomyelia have been developed. These newer developments have drawn the attention of surgeons and researchers away from cordectomy. In this report, the authors encourage a reconsideration of cordectomy for the treatment of posttraumatic syringomyelia after complete spinal cord injury. They describe four patients with posttraumatic syringomyelia who were treated successfully with cordectomy and review appropriate literature, examining the effectiveness of cordectomy in the treatment of posttraumatic syringomyelia. The findings of this review indicate that neurological improvement or stabilization occurred in 88% of patients in published reports of posttraumatic syringomyelia treated with cordectomy. The indications for cordectomy as well as factors that may contribute to the procedure’s success are discussed.
