Abstract

We studied the clinical results of operatuie treatments of 57 patients with acute central cervical cord injury. We used several common estimation scales and a new quantitative scale. The scale is adaptable to prospective as well as retrospective studies and provides means of comparing the effectiveness of differing treatment modalities. There was some effectiveness from operative treatment as judged by this scale according to recovery_ of both motor and sensory function, but it is necessary to compare our cases with other results following only conservative treatment.
