| Popis: | Thirty-two patients with paraplegia following vertebral fracture were treated by anterolateral decompression operation. In all cases there was a compression of the spinal cord from the front. Seven patients, three with complete motor paralysis and incomplete sensory loss and four with incomplete motor paralysis and incomplete sensory loss, made a complete recovery. Ten patients made a good recovery, and seven were improved after the decompression procedure. In six cases no improvement was noted. One patient got neuralgia of the intercostal nerves after the operation and the complete paraplegia remained unchanged. Another patient with a complete paraplegia died of uremia one year after operation. |
