Can you recover from a lumbar fracture the same as before?

Whether or not you can return to your previous condition after a lumbar fracture depends on the extent of the fracture and how well it is healing. For severe lumbar fractures, it is very difficult to return to the previous state. For those with less severe lumbar fractures, such as mild compression fractures, in most cases there is no significant effect on the nerves, so the prognosis is ideal after standardized treatment, and they can return to their previous state. When the lumbar vertebrae are fractured and the nerves, intervertebral discs, ligaments and other injuries or vertebral body comminuted fracture, due to the degree of the fracture is more serious, the later recovery may leave dysfunction, such as comminuted fracture damage to the nerves and left the lower limbs sensory or motor disorders, or even paraplegia, and so on. Therefore, it cannot be restored to the state before the fracture. Most of the lumbar vertebral fracture after standardized conservative treatment or surgical treatment, the prognosis is more satisfactory, generally does not affect daily life and work.
