Abstract

Middle-Lower lumbar and sacral spinal injuries are rare. Neurological recovery following cauda equina injury is better than after spinal cord injuries and it is possible for patients with this injury to walk. We reviewed 6 cases with cauda equina injuries. All achiewed good neurological recovery, regaining bladder-rectum function, and sensory (pain) sensation. We treated these patients by post erior decompression and fusion. Full decompression of the nerve tissues and rigid internal skeletal fixation are recommended for this type of injury.
