Symptoms of a good recovery from a compression fracture of the thoracic 12 vertebrae include significant improvement or disappearance of pain, and no impact on thoracolumbar back activities. Thoracic 12 vertebral compression fracture can be roughly assessed according to the degree of compression, and the main indicators of recovery are the relief of pain symptoms and functional activities of the thoracic and lumbar back. For mild compression fractures, pain symptoms usually disappear 3-4 weeks after the fracture, and spinal function is not affected. For those with a slightly heavier degree of compression of the thoracic 12 vertebrae, recovery may be slower, but recovery can still be judged based on the improvement of symptoms, which is also based on the improvement or disappearance of pain and the impact of thoracic and lumbar back activities. When the pain improves or disappears significantly, and the thoracolumbar back activities do not affect daily life and work needs, it is considered that the thoracic 12 vertebral compression fracture has recovered well.
