Contemporary Management of Spinal Cord Injury
From Impact to Rehabilitation
2nd Edition
Charles H. Tator, MD & Edward C. Benzel, MD, Editors
Foreword by Edward C. Benzel, MD
This second edition updates and expands on our original text, Contemporary Management of Spinal Cord Injuries, with completely new chapters on applied biomechanics, pediatric spinal cord injury, patient selection and timing of surgery, the NASCIS 3 and other spinal cord injury drug trials. In addition, the text reviews the management of spinal cord injured patients with sports injuries from epidemiology to return to play, and the nutritional assessment and management of spinal cord injured patients.
We developed Contemporary Management of Spinal Cord Injuries – 2nd Edition as a learning tool for the numerous neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, physiatrists, urologists, rehab specialist and other medical professionals who care for the victims of spinal cord injury.
Here, for your review, we present Chapter 4, “Clinical Manifestations of Acute Spinal Cord Injury.” It provides an overall description of spinal cord injury (SCI), describes how to conduct an assessment of an SCI patient, lists the major assumptions to be made in diagnosing SCI, provides the standard neurological classifications of SCI, describes the common mechanisms of injury, talks about cauda equina injuries, and discusses reversible or transient syndromes.
I hope you find this information helpful.
To learn more about management of spinal cord injuries . . .
If you are a physician and want to learn more, Contemporary Management of Spinal Cord Injuries – 2nd Edition is designated for a maximum of 15 hours in category 1 credit toward the AMA Physician’s Recognition Award.

About
the Editors
Currently, Charles H. Tator, CM, MD, MA, PhD, FRCSC, FACS
major research program is in regeneration of the spinal cord
after trauma. His clinical research has included the development
of a multidisciplinary acute spinal cord injury unit, and he
showed that these units can reduce mortality, morbidity, and
costs of care of patients with spinal cord injury. His research
into the epidemiology and prevention of spinal cord injury has
revealed a rising incidence of spinal cord injury due to sports
and recreation, and the effectiveness of prevention programs.
Edward C. Benzel, MD, is Director of Spinal Disorders at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Cleveland, OH. He was previously Professor and Chief of Neurosurgery at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. Prior to that, he was Assistant Professor and Chief of Neurosurgery at Louisiana State University at Shreveport. Dr. Benzel received a BS in Chemical Engineering at Washington State University and an MD from the Medical College of Wisconsin. He completed his residency training in neurosurgery and a fellowship in spine surgery at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
