Abstract
Background: spinal cord injury is a common traumatic disease. More than 90% of spinal cord injuries are caused by trauma, such as traffic accidents, violence, physical confrontation, sports, etc. Although spinal cord injury is more common and closely related to our life, it is a difficult project to investigate the epidemiological factors of spinal cord injury. In China, there is a lack of national epidemiological analysis of spinal cord injury, and the epidemiological study of spinal cord injury in different cities in China shows different characteristics. Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics of spinal cord injury and discuss the corresponding treatment. Method: Based on various domestic and foreign literatures on spinal cord injury treatment and rehabilitation, a retrospective analysis was conducted on 137 patients with spinal cord injury admitted to Dalian Port Hospital from 2017 to 2019. Results: The average age of spinal cord injury was 53.92 years. The ratio of male to female patients was 2.83:1; The number of male patients aged 60-69 (30.30%) and female patients aged over 70 (28.57%) was the largest. The injury site of male spinal cord was the most in the neck (54.6%), female the most in the waist (40.6%), followed by the neck (34.4%). In choice of surgical treatment of patients with cervical spine injury patients most (52%), and anterior surgery (43.1%), followed by posterior (35.4%), and thoracic spinal cord injury without anterior surgery patients, most patients (83.3%), posterior surgery patients with lumbar segment damage up to use the posterior surgery (83.3%), a few patients with anterior surgery (6.7%).
Highlights
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a kind of temporary or permanent injury to the spinal cord caused by various factors, and affects the nerve function of the segment below the level of the injured spinal cord, resulting in motor and sensory dysfunction [1], which makes the main functions of the spinal cord sensory, motor, reflex and other, disorders
According to the statistical data, among the 125 patients with spinal cord injury who were selected for surgical treatment, 65 patients were operated on the cervical spine, accounting for 52% of the total number. 30 patients were operated on the thoracic spine, accounting for 24% of the total number
According to the situation of patients admitted to Dalian Port Hospital, statistical analysis found that spinal cord injury showed different characteristics of age, gender, injury site and surgical methods
Summary
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a kind of temporary or permanent injury to the spinal cord caused by various factors, and affects the nerve function of the segment below the level of the injured spinal cord, resulting in motor and sensory dysfunction [1], which makes the main functions of the spinal cord sensory, motor, reflex and other, disorders. According to the degree of injury, spinal cord injury can be divided into. When the spinal fracture is caused by a large external force, the spinal cord loses its protection and causes different degrees of injury. Spine injury is the main cause of spinal cord injury. According to clinical data analysis, more than 90% of spinal cord injuries are caused by trauma, such as traffic accidents, external violence, physical confrontation, sports, etc. According to the cause of injury, it can be divided into traumatic spinal cord injury and non traumatic spinal cord injury. The traumatic injury is known as primary spinal cord injury, while the non traumatic injury is mainly due to the former or chronic diseases
