Skull Traction and Cervical Cord Injury: A New Approach to Improved RehabilitationDescribes the operative technique, cervicolordodesis (CLD), an advance in methods of rehabilitation surgery. The deforming effects of compressive spinal cord injury, especially on axially oriented nerve fibers, proves that skull traction is similarly harmful. CLD is designed to restore conductivity to damaged but surviving nerve fibers. |
