Vertebral injuries occur whenñan las vévertebrae, ligaments or discs of the spine, This type of injury can be derived from the following causes:
- Genétics (scoliosis, spondylolisthesis o espina bítrust
- Guiltyátics (degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis or metabólic like osteoporosis)
- Dreamátics (fractures, subluxations or dislocations)
- External Cause Injuries (road accidents, caídays at home, sports injuries or accidents at work)
- Violent Injuries (personal or collective violence, firearm or knife accidents)
The technological advanceógico has allowed us to offer new métodos de rehabilitationón for those who have suffered an injuryón in column, the use of the robóethics in the spinal cord injury cure is a key factor to improve the quality of life of people with these injuries.

¿Cuáthey are spinal injuries?
An injuryón in the column can affect the méspinal game, When does this type of injury occur?, la therapy de rehabilitationón and treatment is más complex, due to the severity of the injuryón, It should be noted that spinal cord injuries can be:
Compline: They are severe injuries which include the following síntomas:
- Parácomplete lysis
- Periods of flaccidity and muscle spasms
- Péloss of sensation and reflexes
Complete injuries that occur at the level of the upper cervicals affect respiration.ón, produce bradycardia and hypotensionón, pneumoniaía, arrhythmias and blood pressure changesón arterial,
incomplete: On péloss of sensation and motor skills is partial, the byálysis can be temporary and although the sísymptoms improve over the course of días, residual disability remains, the sísymptoms depend on the part of the médula that has been affected.
- Síndrome de Brown-Séquard: The byálysis is homolateral, loss of sensitivity to pain and temperature
- Síanterior spinal cord syndrome: Bilateral pain sensitivity and motor skills are lost
- Sícentral cord syndrome: There's Péloss of mobility and sensitivity of the upper limbs, the patient suffers from muscle weakness péloss of mass múscular
Tetrapléjica: When I hurt herón spinal cord paralyzes the area of the arms, hands, Things you may not know about the spine, legs and pelvis.
Parapléjica: The byálysis affects the trunk in whole or in part, legs and óorgans pélvicos
Signs indicating the presence of a lesionón medullary
It is important to pay attentionón to the following signs that indicate the presence of a lesionón medullary:
- Alterationóno sensitivity
- Péloss of motion
- Incontinence
- Spasms
- Intense pain
- Sensationóno stinging
- respiratory distress
- Presiónot on the neck, back or head
- Muscular weakness
- Numbness or tingling of extremities
- Péloss of balance
- positionón extrañto the back or neck
¿Cuáare the types of spinal cord injuries?
Spinal cord injuries include:
- Lumbalgias
- torn discs
- Sícauda equina syndrome
- distendedón of the muscular ligaments of the back
- spinal fracture
- Displace usóno of the vévertebrae
- Tumors
Injuries at the level of the spine are treated according toúin its intensity, if the columna isá stable, medication can be indicatedón oral, rest and use of a girdle that provides support to the back, in cases más complexes, cementation can be performedón vertebral.
Spinal injuries and médula are diagnosed throughés of resonance, Scannerías the radiographerías, this type of tools allows to determine the severity of the lesionón, based on which the appropriate treatment is suggested by the specialist.
leading roleónico of the engineeríin the future of vertebral injuries
The engineersía has a leading roleóunique in the future of spinal corrective implants, la robóethics has developed important advances to give you a solutionón effective to those who suffer from injuries at the level of the vértebras o médrama.
At present there is talk of the creationóNo. of surgical implantsúcustom rgicos developed with technologyíto from úlast generationón and 3D, whose results are más favorable in recoveryón de la lesión, as, adapts to the anatomyíto natural of the column.
Another important contribution of this specialty is the use of a rob systemótic to perform surgeryíhigh risk ace column, Hospital Teknon in Barcelona being the first to acquire this equipment to care for patients with this type of injury.
