Summary

This study tests if an extra surgery called duroplasty can improve recovery after a severe neck spinal cord injury. Duroplasty opens the tough covering around the cord and adds a patch to give the swollen cord more space. About 222 adults will be randomly assigned to standard care or standard care plus duroplasty, and their hand, walking, and bladder function will be checked for a year.
