Acute Management of Spinal Cord Injury Currently available acute management of SCI: Non-surgical management: traction and bedrest to prevent additional trauma Surgical Management: Bony decompression and spinal column alignment and stabilization Minimizes secondary injury and provides support to the spine Standard of care: Early decompressive surgery within 24-48 hours post-injury Attempts to remove ongoing spinal cord compression Despite significant advances in surgical repair to the spinal column over recent decades, modern day acute management of SCI does not address repair of the spinal cord
