Transection Injury

A transection injury refers to a complete cut or severing of the spinal cord or other tubular structures in the body. When the spinal cord is transected, it results in a loss of communication between the brain and parts of the body below the injury, often causing paralysis or loss of sensation in those areas. This type of injury can be caused by trauma such as a fall, car accident, or sports injury. The severity depends on the location and extent of the damage, impacting movement, sensation, and bodily functions below the injured site.
