A Historical Review

George J. Dohrmann, MD, PhD

Arch Neurol. 1972;27(6):468-473.

Abstract
A review of the literature on experimental spinal cord trauma indicates the advantages of using a reproducible and quantifiable form of injury. Studies to date indicate that contusion of the spinal cord, creating either transitory traumatic paraplegia or permanent traumatic paraplegia, results in structural, vascular, physiological, and biochemical changes, each of which may be altered by various treatment methods.
