title: [Treatment of fractures of the cervical spine and of the dorso lumbar spine with neurological complications (author's transl)].
abstract: Our surgical therapeutic attitude in neurological complications of fractures of the spine seems to us justified by the results which we have obtained. It never caused any aggravation and permitted better relief of the complications of bed rest during the early stages. It always permitted satisfactory vertebral position. It is of course difficult to say definitely whether it was responsible for the neurological recovery often observed. It is nevertheless probable in a certain number of cases and in any case, this recovery will occur under better conditions more favourable for later rehabilitation. But one should emphasise if one wishes to improve further the results, that this reduction should be performed very rapidly.
