Compression fractures in the elderly, in general, can be good, but it depends on the situation. For some compression fractures in the elderly, such as mild compression fractures, the compression height is less than 1/3 of the vertebral body, there are two methods: 1. bed rest, generally need 1-2 months, the fracture is basically stable, the pain is also relieved, you can bring the lumbar brace for bed activities. 2. minimally invasive surgery can be performed, including bone cement filling and balloon expansion, the effect of bone cement filling is The results of cement filling are satisfactory, and generally 24-48 hours after the operation can be used to get out of bed. If the compression fracture is particularly severe and the protrusion to the spinal canal compresses the nerve damage, conservative treatment is not possible at this time, and incision and decompression implantation fusion internal fixation must be performed to prevent complications, so that the elderly fracture can be completely cured.
