RESULTS OF APPLIED METHODS OF SURGICAL TREATMENT OF SPINAL CORD INJURY

The age of patients with spinal cord injury ranged from 17 to 82 years. Among the examined patients there were 76 men (74.5%) and 26 women (25.5%) (p<0.05). The average age of the patients was 47.3±8.4 years. As can be seen from Table 1, the largest age group consisted of patients aged 21-60 years (86.3%), that is, the most able-bodied age. Much less often, spinal cord injury was noted at the age of 20 years (5 patients - 4.9%) and older than 61 years (9 cases – 8.8%).
