This applies in the first place to that group of spastic and flaccid paraplegics where inadequate early treat ment has led to severe tendon and joint contractures, secondly to that group of paraplegics who develop para-articular ossification of so far unexplained aetiology.

Early Therapeutic, Social and Vocational Problems in the Rehabilitation of Persons with Spinal Cord Injuries
Dr. Marian Weiss' textbook reviewing the etiology, pathophysiology, philosophy and conservative vs. surgical management of spinal and spinal cord injury is a significant contribution to the world literature. The remarks which follow are intended to serve the reader as a surgeon's 'thumb nail' sketch of the text's contents, along with brief comments on areas of agreement or mild variance of the opinions expressed.
