Thoracic 12 compression fracture at 50 days, it is best to remain in bed for 2 to 3 months.
Compression fractures of the thoracic spine often occur in middle-aged and elderly patients with osteoporosis and result from minor violence. They may also be due to impact injuries. Thoracic compression fracture requires strict bed rest for 2~3 months, wearing a chest belt to immobilize the thoracic spine to prevent strenuous activities, and the symptomatic use of drugs such as Celecoxib and Mazolin to improve the symptoms. However, the use of drugs should be under the guidance of a doctor.
After 2~3 months of strict conservative treatment, some patients can recover, but some of them are not effective. At this time, surgery can also be used, which mainly includes percutaneous vertebroplasty, or traditional open surgery.
