Overview
Spinal Injury
Spinal injury is injury to the vertebrae, disks or the spinal cord. Injury of this nature, without involvment of the spinal cord, commonly results in chronic pain, and frequently impairs one’s ability to do physical work or enjoy physical recreational pursuits. Injury to the spinal cord may result in paraplegia or quadroplegia.
Most heads of damages are normally involved in cases of spinal injury, without involvement of the spinal cord, and all heads of damages are normally involved in cases of paraplegia or quadroplegia.
Reports from orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, neurosurgeons, occupational therapists, vocational consultants, economists, life expectancy actuaries and other specialists are normally required to establish full recovery in cases of spinal injury.
Spine Fractures
The spine is a complex part of the body and may be fractured in a wide variety of ways. Managing these breaks depends on where they are located and to what degree the fractures may be stable or unstable.
To say that the spine is unstable as a result of a fracture means there has been some loss of the ligaments and bone that give it structural integrity. Potentially the spine could wobble and injure the spinal cord or nerve roots. For purposes of evaluation the spine is usually divided into the anterior, middle, and posterior parts. In general, disruption of two of the three parts of the spine means that it is not stable and that movement would risk further injury to the spinal cord and/or nerve roots.
Treating Spine Injuries
Treatment of spine injury varies with the severity of the injury. Treatment ranges from bracing and/or bed rest for minor spine injuries to surgery for injuries that have made the spine unstable. With surgery techniques to stabilize the spine
"One version of a thoraco-lumbo-sacral orthosis (TLSO) brace offers good stability for injuries to the thoracic (chest) and lumbar (lower back) regions. It keeps the back straight by using specially designed front and back panels held together with Velcro."
Spinal Cord Injuries
The spinal cord runs from the brain stem at the base of the skull down to the lower chest. Usually it stops at about the level of the kidneys, with only nerve roots present farther down. Spinal cord injuries, therefore, occur mostly with cervical (neck) or thoracic (chest) spine injuries.
Treatment
Immediate Treatment
If a spinal injury occurs, it is important to get immediate medical attention. This can help minimize any long-term damage that might be caused by the accident. The treatment for a spinal cord injury must begin the moment the accident occurs. If a spinal injury occurs, paramedics will first work to make sure that your neck is immobilized. This reduces the possibility for further spinal damage. This is usually done using a neck collar and a carrying board.
Early Treatment
After being admitted into the hospital, more serious treatment begins. For some, treatment includes medications such as Medrol. This medicine shows signs of being able to bring about some signs of recovery if it is administered within eight hours of an injury. It works by reducing the amount of inflammation that occurs near the injury
Continual Treatment
A person who us being treated for a spinal injury should expect to stay in the hospital for several days or even a few weeks. This obviously depends on the severity of the injury. However, once you leave the hospital, treatment does not stop. It must be continued at home
