  • Chapter
Thoracic and Lumbar Spine and Spinal Cord Injuries

Part of the book series: Advances in Neurotraumatology ((NEUROTRAUMATOL.,volume 2))

Abstract

Since the time of the Edwin Smith Papyrus (ca. 1700 B.C.), paraplegia has been considered one of the most depressing clinical states to manage and has consequently been a challenge to the basic research worker and the clinician (Collins 1983, Harris 1985).
