Abstract
Spinal injuries in Burma as a result of a fall from height, especially from trees, in young male adults in low socio-economic classes; road traffic accidents are the second commonest cause; deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism is very rare during the period of immobilisation. There are still some social problems of getting back to work and living conditions. We are trying our best to help the patients with spinal injuries.
