The authors report 31 cases of recent spinal injury (14 cervical, 17 thoraco-lumbar) which have been investigated using computerized tomography. After a critical appreciation of the conventional approach to such lesions, the authors consider the advantages and limitations of computerized tomography. Analysis of the data from 31 cases studies confirms that this technique has considerable applications in the assessment of corporeo-discal and pediculo-lamar lesions and, in particular in the determination of the degree of spinal canal stenosis and in the detection of actual potential neuroaggressive factors which are important for the choice of therapy. Computerized tomography provides information which is essential in choosing the surgical strategy to be adopted in each case, and in particular allows determination of the best approach and of the time scale for successive operations in the case of a double approach. On the other hand, computerized tomography alone does not permit precise determination, either of the degree of instability of spinal lesions or of the magnitude of static deformations.
