A compression fracture that is four months old is usually still amenable to surgery.
Compression fractures usually occur in the thoracolumbar spine and can cause spinal pain and limited mobility. If the fracture has not recovered in four months, surgery can be performed if the situation permits. Minimally invasive surgery, such as vertebroplasty, can be performed to increase the stiffness of the vertebral body and restore the height of the vertebral body to achieve the purpose of treatment.
After surgery, you can wear a brace to protect you from getting out of bed, you can’t walk too much at first, gradually increase your activity, and you have to recover for about three months. Avoid bending or lifting heavy objects within six months.
If you have not recovered from a compression fracture in four months, please go to the hospital in time, complete the relevant examinations, and be evaluated by the doctor to choose the appropriate treatment plan, active treatment, and follow the doctor’s instructions for rehabilitation, so as not to delay the condition.
