Abstract Background Spinal cord injuries (SCI) in females are underrepresented in epidemiological literature, particularly in developing countries. Understanding gender-specific patterns is essential for targeted prevention and rehabilitation. Objective To profile spinal injuries in females presenting to a tertiary care neurosurgical Centre in Jammu 50 to 88 in incomplete injuries). Conclusion This is rare study which provides an important absolute overview of clinical profile and functional recovery patterns of female patients only with spinal injuries. Although many epidemiological characteristics are consistent with previously reported global trends, our findings highlight key female -specific factors such as fall related injuries of different types, different mechanisms of injuries for spinal level, higher vulnerability of lumber involvement and SCIM III score for follow up improvements, will help us to compare improvements in male groups when compared in future. Comparison will be possible with males when female specific data is present, this provides first step for further research in female spinal cord injuries which has been overshadowed by male data.
