TL;DR: The incidence of various types of fracture and fracture-dislocation and the degree of reduction achieved by postural reduction is analysed in relation to the initial and late neurological lesions.

TL;DR: Declines with age were found in measures of handicap and life satisfaction, but three quarters of those interviewed reported generally good health and rated their current quality of life as either good or excellent.

TL;DR: Examination of long-term survival in a population-based sample of spinal cord injury survivors in Great Britain showed that higher mortality risk was associated with higher neurologic level and completeness of spinal Cord injury, older age at injury and earlier year of injury.

TL;DR: The non-touch technique of intermittentCatheterisation has proved superior to any other form of early management of the paralysed bladder hitherto described and has disproved the prejudice held against intermittent catheterisation for so many years by urologists and other workers in the field of spinal paraplegia.

TL;DR: Findings indicate a failure of sympathetic activity in response to head-up tilt in the tetraplegic patients, probably caused by interruption of pathways by which the brain normally controls sympathetic outflow.
