What does it mean to have a transverse fracture of the lumbar vertebral body

Lumbar transverse process is the lateral bony structure of the lumbar vertebrae, which has the function of connecting the lumbar muscles. Lumbar transverse process fracture refers to the fracture of the lateral bony structure of the vertebral body, which is a relatively common lumbar vertebrae fracture, commonly seen in patients who were hit by heavy objects, manifested as lumbar pain, accompanied by limited bending activities, turning over the body to be affected by the activities, but does not affect the upright walking. This type of fracture generally does not require surgical treatment, bed rest for about two weeks, the surrounding tissue adhesion of the lumbar muscles can basically be restored, but due to the transverse process and the original part of the distance, generally will not be re-healed in situ, rely on the local hemorrhage, hematoma adhesion to ultimately form a deformity of healing, to be able to withstand the lumbar muscle pulling ability, so generally about two months to fully recover, the pain disappears, basically no residual pain, the pain disappears, the pain disappears. After the pain disappears, there is basically no after-effects.
