How long it takes to recover from a compression fracture is related to the severity of the fracture and the type of treatment, usually 1 to 3 months. If a compression fracture is treated with conservative immobilization, it usually takes about 2 to 3 months to gradually return to normal, while some patients are treated with minimally invasive surgery, they can get out of bed on the second day of the surgery, and will gradually return to normal in about 1 month. However, some patients with more serious compression fractures need to take open surgical treatment, which requires at least 6 weeks of bed rest after surgery, and after 6 weeks, they can get out of bed properly, and it usually takes more than 3 months for full recovery. Compression fracture patients must cooperate with the doctor to take active treatment, and should do a good job of post-operative care, and pay attention to regular review, to observe the growth of the fracture site.
