title: [Acute surgical treatment of spinal fracture with medullary involvement].
abstract: Two case histories are presented to illustrate the possibility of decisive improvement in the neurological sequelae after spinal fractures with spinal stenosis by means of rapid operative decompression and stabilisation. The importance of rapid transfer of patients of this type to centres where therapeutic decisions can be taken on the basis of several possible therapeutic methods, including the above-mentioned, is emphasized.
