The timing of surgical decompression for spinal cord injury [PDF]

F1000 Medicine Reports, 2010
Research into the pathophysiological mechanisms of spinal cord injury (SCI) has resulted in a classification scheme of primary and secondary injury. Primary injury refers to the destructive nature of the initial impact and the subsequent shearing, penetrating, and compressive forces that injure the delicate neural tissue.
