Do you need a bone graft for a thoracic fracture?

Whether a thoracic spine fracture is implanted or not depends on the degree of fracture, the nature of the fracture, and the surrounding nerve and spinal cord compression. Unstable burst type, or nerve root, spinal cord compression leading to nerve damage, etc. need to do bone grafting. Because the thoracic spine is cancellous bone, unstable burst type fracture, compression is more serious, the bone loss is more serious, even if the reset is successful, the fracture will still be defective; or after the nerve damage, there is a decline in muscle strength, abnormal sensation, dysfunction, etc.. The above situations need bone grafting surgery, which can promote the healing and recovery of the fracture, if not bone grafting is also prone to cause late collapse of the thoracic spine. If the diagnosis of thoracic spine fracture is confirmed, it is recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner, and carry out standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor, in order to reduce the adverse effects of the disease.
