Abstract

The complex management issues related to spinal cord injury traditionally have been the purview of physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists. However, changes in the healthcare system now offer primary care physicians an expanded role in helping affected patients live a healthier and more functional life. With proper understanding of the mechanisms of spinal cord injury, primary care physicians can become important members of the medical management team. Dr Yu presents a comprehensive overview of medical care issues and common complications in spinal cord injury.
