Can you do heavy lifting after a compression fracture has healed?

After standardized treatment, compression fracture can still do heavy work, but should pay attention to the need to moderately engage in heavy manual labor. Compression fracture mainly refers to the compression of cancellous bone by external force and lead to deformation, is a relatively common clinical fracture, after standardized treatment, after complete recovery is able to do heavy work, but do not recommend long time to do heavy work, due to the fracture, although completely healed, but the bone quality is still more or less there is a certain degree of damage, if long time to do heavy work, it may lead to re-fracture. It should be noted that although some people have completely healed, there are sequelae such as deformation of the vertebral body and joint instability, so they cannot do heavy work. If the compression fracture has recovered well and there are no other structural or morphological abnormalities, it is usually possible to do heavy work properly. After the occurrence of compression fracture, it is recommended to go to the hospital for standardized treatment, regular review, and follow the doctor’s instructions to carry out functional exercises and engage in physical activities, so as not to cause secondary injury.
