| Popis: | This article deals with the main issues of surgical management of acute spinal cord injury patients – discussing the importance of timing of surgery with physiologic stability of the cord, and indications for surgery – absolute and relative. The importance of the type of injury to the spinal column, besides the cord injury, is also discussed. A brief review of relevant literature has been performed to try and answer the question whether early or late surgical treatment for acute spinal cord injury is better than conservative management, reflecting the ethos of treatment for these problems in RJ&AH Orthopaedic Hospital in Oswestry. |
