Spinal Traumas and their Treatments According to Avicenna's Canon of Medicine.
World Neurosurgery 2015 July
Spinal Traumas have been categorized as disabling diseases that cause irretrievable personal and social problems. Having conducted a rather comprehensive diagnosis of the anatomy of the backbone and spinal cord as well as their functions, Avicenna (Ibn Sina, 980-1037) stated the levels and kinds of spinal impairments that are caused by spinal traumas in his great masterpiece Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb (The Canon of Medicine). He also based his treatment process on his etiological diagnosis of such impairments.

The authors of the present article review the bases of Avicenna's viewpoints regarding spinal traumas and their treatment.
