Lumbar compression fracture does not necessarily have sequelae, but whether it will have sequelae depends on the specific degree of compression of the fracture and whether it compresses the spinal cord or nerves.
Generally speaking, lumbar compression fracture compression degree is within 1/3, without compression of the spinal cord and nerves, usually does not leave sequelae; when the fracture is serious, spinal cord or nerve compression, and do not get timely treatment, may leave lumbar pain, numbness of both lower limbs, muscle atrophy, paraplegia and other sequelae.
Patients with lumbar compression fracture should be absolutely bedridden, and mild patients can get up and move around under the protection of support after 2~3 weeks of bed rest. In addition, hormones can be used under the guidance of the doctor to promote the recovery of the injured spinal cord, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to relieve pain. For patients with severe fractures, surgery should be performed in a timely manner to minimize the occurrence of sequelae.
