Often, young adults are involved as in injuries due to war, motor vehicle accidents, motorcycle accidents, diving and skiing accident. Special units have been developed for the care, and rehabilitation of the unfortunate victims of these injuries. Early recognition and management of a potential spinal cord compromise is essential.
