35 years old male presented with history of RTA leading to fractured L1 vertebra.Patient s power decreased in both lower limbs after injury.Patient presented to me 4 days after injury.
Me and my team immediately operated upon him,there was marked compression over spinal cord which was removed.The spinal cord was damaged with big rent in dura mater which was repaired.
Alhamdolillah pt is doing fine postoperatively.
InshaAllah pt s neurology will also improve.
Spinal fractures specially with partial neurology of dealt and operated earlier have excellent results.
I am grateful to my teachers Prof.Amer Aziz sb,Prof.Shehzad Javaid sb,Prof.Naeem sb,Prof.Ijaz sb,Prof.Rizwan sb,Prof.Ateeq sb and whole team of Ghurki Trust Teaching Hospital who have taught us to deal such cases.
