The risks of surgery for lumbar compression fractures are mainly manifested in the following aspects: 1. anesthesia risk, surgery for lumbar fractures needs to be performed under general anesthesia, so the physiological condition of the patient needs to be evaluated during the perioperative period, whether he can tolerate general anesthesia and whether he has a special medical history. 2. the nerves and blood vessels of the lumbar spine may be damaged during surgery, if the degree of lumbar fracture comminution is serious, the nerve roots and blood vessels may be damaged during surgery. If the fracture of the lumbar spine is more severe, the nerve roots and blood vessels may be damaged during the decompression of the vertebral plate, resulting in some adverse consequences. 3. If this happens, the dural sac should be sutured during surgery, and the bed rest time should be extended after surgery. These are the main surgical risks of lumbar compression fractures. Of course, for an experienced spine surgeon, the probability of these risks is generally very low, and patients should not be anxious.
