AB - Study Design: Literature review. Objectives: To summarize the most up-to-date information on the initial management and neurological examination of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Summary of Literature Review: Secondary injuries result from acute pathophysiological processes such as bleeding, hypoperfusion, inflammation, necrosis, and apoptosis around neural elements that initially survive a mechanical injury. Materials and Methods: Orthopedic surgeons must be familiar with the anatomy of the spinal cord and the initial management of a patient with SCI. A detailed neurological examination in accordance with the International Standards for the Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury is a prerequisite. It is important to distinguish between spinal shock and neurogenic shock, which are characteristic phenomena in patients with SCI. Results: Rapid realignment of the spine and proper medical management to avoid hypoperfusion are important in the overall care of a patient with SCI. Conclusions: Patients with SCI should be managed and treated properly to enable them to return home and to their work as soon as possible.
