It's a guideline published on the brainandspinalinjury.org web site.
It's current.  Else someone in San Francisco is doing a poor job of
website maintenance.  I'd be unsurprised if it were the latter; but we
should expect better from them.

I suppose that either way, to reply is to confirm.  But the sender
didn't know I was going to send it to the List.  Just knew I was
interested in this kind of stuff.

This is important why?

This current link, from a colleague.  Note the perseveration of the use
of steroids and the continued emphasis on plain films, even among
patients with disability.
