Traumatic low paraplegia

Introduction: Traumatic paraplegia refers to the paralysis of limbs below the site of spinal cord injury due to external forces on the spine. It is usually caused by direct or indirect violence, and the injury site is likely to occur at the segment of the spine with frequent movements or at the transition of physiological curvature. The degree of injury is generally proportional to the amount of violence.
