Although the incidence of spinal cord injury in childhood is lower than in adults, the impact is significant when the number of years with resulting severe limitations are considered. Prevention is the key to spinal cord management in all age groups, but takes on a stronger, more emphasized sense of urgency with children. If methods of prevention fail, successful early management of a child with spinal cord injury is the best hope for a future filled with accomplishments.
尽管儿童脊髓损伤的发生率低于成人，但考虑到由此导致严重功能受限的年限时，其影响是显著的。预防是所有年龄段脊髓损伤管理的关键，但对于儿童而言，预防具有更强、更突出的紧迫性。如果预防方法失败，成功地对脊髓损伤儿童进行早期管理是其未来取得成就的最大希望。
