This site from Craig Hospital has good information about Post-Traumatic Tethered Spinal Cord.
Post-traumatic tethered spinal cord is a condition that can occur following spinal cord injury and can result in progressive deterioration of the spinal cord. Post-traumatic tethered spinal cord is a condition which occurs following injury to the spinal cord where scar tissue forms and tethers or holds the spinal cord to the soft tissue covering which surrounds it called the dura.
This condition can result in syringomyelia or a syrinx, a fluid filled sac on the cord that can cause a reduction of function and will often require surgery. See the website for signs and symptoms to be aware of, detailed diagnostic information and for information about treatment.
