During the period 1 January 1965 to 31 December 1986, 27 patients were admitted to the Rehabilitation Hospital in Hornbaek after traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) sustained in Greenland. The commonest cause of injury was attempted suicide (7 patients), of which 6 were jumps from buildings. Six resulted from accidental falls to a level below and even 2 out of the 3 cases of SCI following violence were due to falls. There was only one traffic injury, a motor cycle accident. Fourteen patients were under the influence of alcohol at time of injury. Nine were tetraplegic (3 complete, 6 incomplete), and 18 paraplegic (10 complete, 8 incomplete). Ten regained useful neurological remission. Of the 23 native Greenlanders only 4 paraplegics and 1 tetraplegic remained in their previous residences, 5 resettled in Denmark. At the time of follow-up 17 patients were living alone and only 7 were in work.
在1965年1月1日至1986年12月31日期间，27例因在格陵兰岛发生创伤性脊髓损伤（SCI）而入住霍恩拜克康复医院。最常见的受伤原因是自杀未遂（7例患者），其中6例是从建筑物上跳下。6例是意外坠落到较低水平，甚至3例暴力导致的脊髓损伤中有2例是因跌倒所致。仅有1例交通伤，为摩托车事故。14例患者在受伤时处于酒精影响下。9例为四肢瘫（3例完全性，6例不完全性），18例为截瘫（10例完全性，8例不完全性）。10例恢复了有用的神经功能缓解。在23名格陵兰原住民中，只有4例截瘫患者和1例四肢瘫患者仍居住在以前的住所，5例在丹麦重新定居。在随访时，17例患者独自生活，只有7例在工作。
