A group of surgeons who used the Galveston technique for L-rod instrumentation (LRI) were surveyed to learn their experience with associated neurologic injuries. Among 507 LRIs for scoliosis there were two partial cord syndromes (0.4%), 13 "nerve root hyperesthesias" (2.6%), and two other nerve injuries (0.4%). All patients, except one with mild residuals after a partial cord injury, fully recovered from their neurologic problem. Experience in spinal surgery, education about LRI strategies and techniques, hands-on technical instruction, and use of an established process for LRI are believed to be the factors that enabled these surgeons to perform this complex procedure with relative safety.
一组使用加尔维斯顿技术进行L形棒内固定术（LRI）的外科医生接受了调查，以了解他们处理相关神经损伤的经验。在507例用于治疗脊柱侧弯的LRI手术中，发生了2例部分脊髓综合征（0.4%）、13例“神经根感觉过敏”（2.6%）以及另外2例神经损伤（0.4%）。除1例部分脊髓损伤后有轻度后遗症的患者外，所有患者的神经问题均完全康复。脊柱外科经验、LRI策略和技术培训、实践操作指导以及采用既定的LRI流程被认为是使这些外科医生能够相对安全地实施这一复杂手术的因素。
