Lumbar spine fracture does not necessarily require surgery. For general lumbar vertebral fracture, such as the fracture compression of <1/3, at the same time there is no neurological symptoms, the fracture does not protrude into the lumen of the vertebral canal, at this time generally do not need to carry out surgery, as long as into the bed rest, generally bed rest between 1-2 months, after which wearing a waist corset can be carried out out out of bed activities. If the lumbar fracture is more serious, compression > 1/3, or even burst fracture, the fracture block protrudes into the lumen, accounting for about 1/2 of the lumen. At the same time, there is a combination of nerve damage, at this time it is necessary to carry out surgical treatment, if not surgical treatment, there will be nerve damage, or even secondary nerve damage, and then later surgery will be difficult to save nerve damage, so it is necessary to carry out surgery as early as possible. There is another kind of compression fracture, osteoporotic fracture in the elderly, this time also does not necessarily need surgery, as long as bed rest, anti-osteoporosis treatment, generally can be improved.
