Recovery from a minimally invasive thoracic spine fracture varies depending on the patient’s physical condition and treatment, and typically takes between three months and a year. With a minor fracture, pain symptoms are not particularly severe. The patient can turn over in bed on his or her own, but the pain is significantly worse when getting out of bed and there are no neurologic symptoms. This is known as a minor thoracic spine fracture. After conservative treatment, the patient can get out of bed, walk with a brace after 4 weeks, and usually recover after 3 months. Severe fractures can lead to paraplegia, loss of sensory and motor function in the entire limb below the plane of injury, and incontinence. In such cases, even after surgical treatment, it is difficult for the patient to make a full recovery, and he or she will not be able to turn in bed on his or her own, and will need to be immobilized with a surgical staple-rod system. However, the patient’s recovery time will be prolonged, taking more than three months, or even six months or a year. During the recovery period, patients need to recover under the guidance of the doctor, and cannot do strenuous exercise to prevent affecting the recovery of the condition.
