Sequelae of lumbar compression fractures

The sequelae of lumbar vertebral compression fracture are commonly manifested as nerve injury, decubitus ulcer and muscle atrophy. 1. Nerve injury: if the height of lumbar spine is not restored in time, it will compress the surrounding tissues and nerves, and the patient will suffer from pain, discomfort or weakness of lower limbs and other symptoms. 2. Decubitus ulcers: patients who have been lying in bed for a long time will suffer from necrosis of the surrounding skin and develop decubitus ulcers. Patients should massage the surrounding skin and use iodine povidone and other medications to treat the problem locally. 3. Muscle atrophy: muscles are not exercised for a long time, resulting in atrophy. Therefore, patients should turn over and move their limbs in time to avoid the above situation. The symptoms of the disease are hidden and atypical, which can be manifested as stomach pain, hip joint pain, lumbago and so on. Therefore, in case of serious external impact or trauma to the lumbar region, the lumbar region should be examined in time, and within the acceptable range, exercises should be carried out under the guidance of rehabilitation doctors to minimize the risk of sequelae, and no unauthorized activities should be carried out to avoid aggravation of the condition and sequelae.
