Lumbar compression fracture is a kind of lumbar fracture, lumbar compression fracture is due to compression, such as doing a buttock or shoulder, neck and other external force may lead to lumbar compression fracture. Lumbar fractures are greater than lumbar compression fractures because there are also burst fractures or other comminuted fractures of the lumbar spine. Lumbar compression fractures are also lumbar spine fractures without much change, except that they are diagnosed as modifiers to describe the mechanism of injury to the lumbar spine. Under normal circumstances lumbar fractures need to look at the degree of displacement of the fracture fragment, if the fracture fragment is displaced more significantly into the spinal canal when you need to consider surgery, surgical treatment to reduce the nerve root compression and nerve root damage.
