Overview

Narrative review highlights surgical approaches for spinal injuries in military settings, suggesting need for flexible care models.

Key Points

  • Spinal injuries in military operations have increased from 1% to 5%-8% recently due to changes in warfare tactics, underscoring the need for updated guidelines.
  • Recommended surgical interventions should consider patient risks and available resources, particularly in austere environments where flexibility is essential.
  • Evidence suggests early surgical intervention can improve outcomes in specific spinal injury cases, despite an increased risk of complications.
  • Rethinking healthcare chains and employing remote technologies can enhance injury management capabilities for military teams.
