Abstract
AbstractTraumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI) is a life-changing and potentially overwhelming event. The sudden disruption of the spinal cord's integrity necessitates rapid attention at a specialized medical center, and involves a multilateral collaboration between neurologists, spine surgeons, critical care physicians, and trauma specialists. Even with care under ideal conditions, many tSCI patients have significant disability that persists for the rest of their lives. However, recently, we have seen a proliferation in clinical and translational trials that offer the promise that new treatments may be available soon.
