N 'INETY-FOUR patients with penetrating wounds of the spine were observed and treated during the overseas period of their injuries. Two to 3 years later an inquiry was made concerning the American members of this group. The early records have been analyzed and viewed from the standpoint of the results that have rewarded efforts employed in care. Of the 94 patients, 69 were Americans and r were foreigners (mainly German prisoners). Follow-up reports were available in 56 of the American group. Under pertinent headings, background data concerning the entire group of 94 cases are briefly tabulated. Several illustrations are used. The follow-up observations are in more detail, consisting of tabulations of personal reports received in answer to letters, questionnaires, and personal examinations.
