Thoracic Cord Injury is among the most serious complications of spinal cord injuries and may cause severe dysfunction of the lower extremities. How long it takes to recover muscle strength after thoracic medullary injury surgery is determined by the degree of the patient’s thoracic medullary injury.
1. If the patient’s thoracic medullary injury is mild and only belongs to spinal cord concussion, after thoracic medullary surgery, the muscle strength can usually be restored in 3-6 months, but not necessarily fully restored.
2. If the patient’s thoracic cord injury is very serious and belongs to complete spinal cord injury, after thoracic cord surgery, it is less difficult for the patient to recover muscle strength completely, if the patient fails to recover after 6 months, the chances of complete recovery in the later stage are very low.
Patients must not be bedridden for a long time after the operation, and must actively carry out rehabilitation treatment and rehabilitation training, which is very helpful for the recovery of normal life in the later stage, and at the same time, maintain a good attitude, which will help the recovery of the condition.
