Spine fracture can result from high-velocity injury and low-velocity injury
These injuries are often serious and require intensive and emergency treatment. Low-velocity injury like slip and fall can cause spine fracture in people with pre-existing conditions that weakens the bone. In elderly people, osteoporosis is the common cause of spine fracture, whereas tumour/cancer invading the spine and spine infections can lead to spine fracture in younger people with low-impact injury. In severe osteoporosis, spine can get fractured even without a minor trauma. Fracture can involve the thoracic, lumbar or cervical spine.
Only a Centre like HAMSA REHAB will provide such a holistic care with best spinal cord injury treatment in Chennai.
High-velocity injury include
- Road traffic accident
- Fall from height
- Industrial accidents
- Sports injuries
How can a spine injury present?
Our spine not only supports our body but also protects the delicate spinal cord by encasing it in the bony spinal canal. So, the spinal cord can also be damaged in spine fractures. The severity of the injury depends on the level of fracture (i.e.) neck, upper back or lower back, involvement of spinal cord and nerves, and velocity of injury.
Fracture of the spine causes severe neck or back pain incapacitating the individual. In case of minor fractures, walking may be pain-free but change of position like getting up from bed or chair, or turning around in bed trigger a catchy pain. If the spinal cord or nerves are damaged, the person can develop weakness of arms and legs or legs alone, numbness in the limbs and disturbance in passing urine or stools.
When to approach a spine doctor in Chennai?
Even a minor fracture in spine should be dealt cautiously as inadequate management may lead to deformity (hunch-back) or nerve damage. Your doctor will examine you to assess the muscle power and sensation in your limbs and evaluate your urine/toilet disturbances. He/she may take an X-ray, CT scan and/or MRI scan to find the extent of spinal bone and nerve damage. In case of pathological fracture (i.e.) fracture due to preexisting disease, more investigations need to be done to find or confirm the disease.
Spine Fracture Treatment in Chennai depends on the fracture pattern, instability from the injury and associated neurological injury. Treatment methods include
- Conservative management with rest and spine braces
- Minimally invasive key-hole surgery
- Open surgery to stabilize bones and relieve nerve pressure.
- Complex surgery- anterior reconstruction
What is complete or incomplete injury?
The complete injury is like cutting off all electric service to a building. No messages can be sent from the brain to the parts of the body below where it is cut. Sometimes the spinal cord may not be completely severed, but may be damaged so severely, that the injury is still complete. An incomplete injury is like stopping electric supply to some offices in a building, but not all of them.
Some messages can get through, while others cannot. The amount and type of messages that can pass between the brain and parts of the body will depend on how many nerves are damaged. These have significant prognostic implication.
WHAT IS SPINAL CORD INJURY?
A spinal cord injury can occur either from an injury or from a disease to the vertebral column or spinal cord itself. In most spinal cord injuries, the backbone pinches the spinal cord. The spinal cord may become bruised or swollen. The injury may actually tear the spinal cord and/or its nerve fibers.
With a spinal cord injury your spinal cord can be injured in any place from neck to the lower back. Just like an electric cable stops sending current beyond the point it is damaged, messages from the brain stop passing beyond the injured part. The area below the injured part of the spinal cord becomes paralyzed with variable loss of sensation and movements. Depending upon the level of injury you could be either a paraplegic (loss of movements in the legs with normal hand functions) or quadriplegic (loss of function in both the legs and hands).

All Your Doubts About Rehabilitation Answered
Does the patient need rehabilitation after Spinal Cord Injury?
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) can cause severe physical disability to the person. The treatment and rehabilitation focuses on intensively working with patients physically and psychologically, so that in a short period of time they can maximize their neurological recovery and general health. We educate SCI patients about all aspects of their injury and long term care. We want patients to return home as independent and productive as possible, prepared to resume their lives.
How Can Rehabilitation Help?
Persons with spinal cord injury will have permanent disability and with rehabilitation they can develop new skills, or train themselves or their family to optimise their independence and quality of life. It is very important to select a system of care that provides specialized treatment, care, services, team and equipment because of the complexity of these injuries.
