“…The infection rate for this type of injury ranges from 7 to 22%. 29 In the experience presented here, the incidence of infectious complications was 14.2%, 60% of which were related to meningitis and 40% to spondylodiscitis. All patients who had infectious complications had hollow viscera perforated by the projectile, denoting more severe injuries.…”

[27][28] On the type of spinal cord injury, paraplegia 60% (n = 12) stood out as the most prevalent lesion type, followed by the tetraplegia 29% (n = 5)presenting, so similarities to some studies.…”
