Description
Although the first edition of the handbok (1976) has retained its relevance, significant advances in diagnoses, pathomechanical concepts and management of spinal cord injuries merits the presentation of subject matter by distinguished authors, providing a solid basis of seasoned experience from which new avenues of treatment will spring in the future. The introductory chapters on biomechanics and pathology set the scene for the section on the management of spinal cord injury. New surgical approaches and stabilizing procedures are highlighted, as are less common causes of spinal cord damage. Recovery of function following spinal cord injury, clinical trials and therapies are catered to, along with new developments in the field of nerve regeneration. While recognizing the complexity of knowledge, experience and facilities needed for managing the bodily systems, the book reflects the usefulness of spinal cord injury centres, joining dedicated "all-round" specialists. "Spinal Cord Trauma" also points the way to improving management of associated problems and will accordingly command interest from a wider sphere than the neurological.
