[Treatment of fractures of the cervical spine and of the dorso lumbar spine with neurological complications (author's transl)]. 1977

Y Gérard, and P Segal, and J S Bedoucha, and G Lefort

Our surgical therapeutic attitude in neurological complications of fractures of the spine seems to us justified by the results which we have obtained. It never caused any aggravation and permitted better relief of the complications of bed rest during the early stages. It always permitted satisfactory vertebral position. It is of course difficult to say definitely whether it was responsible for the neurological recovery often observed. It is nevertheless probable in a certain number of cases and in any case, this recovery will occur under better conditions more favourable for later rehabilitation. But one should emphasise if one wishes to improve further the results, that this reduction should be performed very rapidly.

D010264 Paraplegia Severe or complete loss of motor function in the lower extremities and lower portions of the trunk. This condition is most often associated with SPINAL CORD DISEASES, although BRAIN DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASES; and MUSCULAR DISEASES may also cause bilateral leg weakness.

D011782 Quadriplegia Severe or complete loss of motor function in all four limbs which may result from BRAIN DISEASES; SPINAL CORD DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASES; or rarely MUSCULAR DISEASES. The locked-in syndrome is characterized by quadriplegia in combination with cranial muscle paralysis. Consciousness is spared and the only retained voluntary motor activity may be limited eye movements. This condition is usually caused by a lesion in the upper BRAIN STEM which injures the descending cortico-spinal and cortico-bulbar tracts.
