Trauma Research

KEY FINDING: NHO prevalence in SCI patients ranges from 10% to 53%, with lower rates in pediatric patients.

KEY FINDING: The patient presented with severe paraparesis four days after a traumatic injury, which led to the discovery of a thoracic spine schwannoma.

KEY FINDING: People with orthopaedic injuries and TBI in regional areas had greater odds of seeing a GP compared with their metropolitan counterparts.

KEY FINDING: The case report highlights that autonomic dysreflexia (AD) can be easily missed by medical staff unfamiliar with the condition, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment.

KEY FINDING: Physiatry involvement was associated with increased odds of discharge to inpatient rehabilitation.

KEY FINDING: Uninsured patients are less likely to be discharged to acute rehabilitation or alternative healthcare facilities following surgical management of SCI.

KEY FINDING: The SETS nerve transfer technique, combined with tendon lengthening, significantly improved knee extension in a patient with electrical injury-induced femoral neuropathy and spinal cord injury.

KEY FINDING: The male-to-female ratio of TSCI patients was 3:1, with a mean age of 39.4 years. The 30–39-year age group had the largest percentage of injuries.

KEY FINDING: Reduction of the dislocation was achieved in 92.2% of cases using the anterior approach, with only 7.8% requiring corpectomy.

KEY FINDING: No significant differences were found in radiological outcomes (kyphotic angle, kyphotic deformation, Beck index) between SSFIFL and LSPF groups at the final follow-up.
