The recovery of thoracic 12 vertebral compression fracture needs to be decided according to the type of fracture, the specific condition of the fracture and the treatment method adopted. For patients with mild compression, conservative treatment is adopted, requiring bed rest for 2-3 months, and after the fracture is completely healed, walking on the ground and functional exercise of the thoracic back are carried out under the protection of lumbar girdle, and lumbar girdle protection of bed exercise should not be more than 2 months, as prolonged time will cause atrophy of the thoracic back muscles. For patients with incision and restoration of internal fixation, steel nails are driven into the thoracic vertebrae for fixation after bracing, if the fixation is particularly strong, the next day after the operation, you can get out of bed under the protection of lumbar girdle to carry out activities or exercise. For osteoporotic elderly patients, thoracic 12 vertebral fracture will take minimally invasive treatment, in the patient’s own condition allows the conditions, the next day or the day of surgery can be under the protection of lumbar girdle to go down to the ground to carry out functional exercise. Therefore, the specific recovery period and recovery of thoracic 12 vertebral compression fracture need to be decided according to different treatment methods.
