Incorrect.  Klingons only have one spinal column.  It was the replacement of 
Worf's spinal column with a replicated replacement produced by an 
experimental medical replicator which allowed him to walk again.  Most 
Klingon organs are duplicated, but the Spinal column is not one of them.  The 
episode in question is Ethics, should you wish to check for yourself.
