Mild fracture of the eighth thoracic vertebra for ten weeks If the fracture is not severe and the patient is in good physical condition, he or she is usually able to get out of bed and stand. Conversely, it may not be possible to get out of bed and stand. A mild fracture of the eighth thoracic vertebra indicates that the current fracture is not very serious, and generally does not require long-term bed rest, because after the fracture there are still ribs around the fracture to fix it, which is relatively stable, and as long as there is no compression of the nerves or compression of the spinal cord, the patient can be active at an early stage, and generally can slowly move around in six to eight weeks. However, if the patient’s bone quality is relatively poor, for example, the elderly often have osteoporosis, after the eighth thoracic vertebral fracture, the recovery may be slower, if the physical condition does not allow, may not be able to get out of bed to stand up at about ten weeks, need to continue to bed rest. After a mild fracture of the eighth thoracic vertebra, it is important to go to the hospital for a follow-up examination, and after the examination, choose whether to be active or not according to the recovery situation.
