Spinal Injuries in Juveniles
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Injuries of the spine are rare in children (Jaki 1930, Arendt 1958, Gelehrter and Vitalli 1960, Howarth and Petrie 1964, Vinz 1964, Broger 1968), amounting to only 25 per cent (Gelehrter 1957) or 33 per cent (Forni 1947) of all spinal injuries. During eight years we have observed twelve ofa total of 100 spinal injuries in subjects between the ages ofnothing and eighteen years coming to necropsy ; this incidence thus exceeds that shown in clinical reports. The difference may be due to differences in the material studied : necropsy may disclose injuries which are not always recognisable by clinical and radiological methods.
