Abstract

Spinal cord injuries can result in partial or complete loss of motor and sensory functions below the level of injury. For thoracic spinal cord injuries, surgery is commonly performed to decompress and stabilize the spine to facilitate neural recovery¹. Results: The study indicates that complete spinal cord injury post high thoracic spine surgery accounts for the highest proportion at 60.4%, while incomplete spinal cord injuries account for 27.1%. Postoperative improvements were observed with a reduction in the rate of autonomic dysfunction from 72.9% down to 54.2%. Conclusion: Decompression and stabilization surgery of the high thoracic spine yield significant neural function recovery in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury but are less effective in those with complete spinal cord injury.
