Outcomes of Delayed Surgical Interventions (> 72 h After Injury) in Patients with Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury: Observations from a Tertiary Rehabilitation Centre in India
Abstract:There is no consensus on the timing for early surgery in spinal cord injury (SCI). On Pubmed, we found no primary research article from India evaluating the effects of timing of surgery on outcomes in SCI patients.

Patients, with history of traumatic incomplete SCI of < 6-month duration and below C5 vertebra level, wh… Show more
