Department of Anesthesiology, University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio.

This article summarizes the biomechanical relationship of the spinal column to load stresses with respect to column failure, and the resulting associated central nervous system injury. In addition, it presents pertinent animal research, which has focused onto the development standardized animal spinal cord injury model.
