The more common sequelae of transverse process fractures are residual low back pain and non-union of the transverse process fracture, also known as osseous nonunion. Because the transverse process is a muscle attachment point, it is distant from the nerves and usually does not cause neurological symptoms, but because it is a muscle attachment point, the symptoms of low back pain will be more pronounced after a transverse process fracture, so many patients will have residual low back pain. Because the transverse process is a muscle attachment point and has a muscle pulling effect, the fracture end is easily displaced after a transverse process fracture, so one of the sequelae is that the transverse process fracture does not heal. In general, transverse process fractures do not have very serious sequelae and should not be overly worried.
