Key Points

High rates of neurological improvement were observed in surgically treated patients for cervical spinal cord injury without fracture.
Postoperative neurological improvement was noted in 62% of patients who had surgery within 72 hours of injury, showing similar outcomes regardless of timing.
The analysis included 16 studies involving 398 patients and assessed improvement through a random-effects model meta-analysis.
Findings suggest that timings of surgery might not significantly differ in rates of neurological recovery among patients with cervical spinal cord injury.
