.@TheLancetNeuro Surgical decompression within one day of acute #spinalcordinjury is linked with improved sensorimotor recovery. The first 24-36 hours following injury seem to represent a crucial time frame to reach optimal #neurological recovery. @UofT https://t.co/Fi53K2YKBk pic.twitter.com/RDESblOgoM
