Spine Articles

Traumatic injury to spinal vertebrae may result in isolated spinal column injury (SI) or spinal cord injuries (SCI). Spinal cord injury (SCI) often results in profound and long-term disability that has a devastating effect from the physical, psychological, and socioeconomic point of view. Moreover, these injuries pose an immense burden on society from a public health perspective. In the United States, the estimated cost of treatment of SCI is $9.7 billion per a year. The Public Health Agency of Canada estimated that in 2000-2001 the hospital costs associated with SI were $61.6 million. Both SI and SCI are most frequently caused by motor vehicle crashes (MVC), falls and sports or recreational activities. Survival after spinal fractures has been shown to improve along with a greater appreciation of patterns of presentation and complications. According to the Canadian Paraplegic Association, motor vehicle crashes account for 35% of all SCI. Approximately 900 Canadians sustain a SCI each yearAC, 80% of whom are male and young with age between 15 and 34 years.
