Vertebra 12 refers to the 12 thoracic vertebrae. Normally, a fracture of the 12 thoracic vertebra may take 3 months or more to heal after surgery. The exact time depends on the location of the fracture, the severity of the fracture, and the presence of damage to neighboring organs and tissues.
If the patient has a common spinous process fracture or transverse vertebral body fracture, no special treatment is needed, as long as proper rest and no strenuous activities, the fracture will heal naturally in about 3 months.
If the patient has an ordinary minor compression fracture or vertebral body tear-like, usually no special treatment is needed, and the fracture will also heal naturally in about 3 months.
If the patient has a severe fracture, combined with a herniated disc, compression of the spinal canal, etc., surgical intervention is required, and recovery time will take at least 3 months, if not longer.
Vertebral 12 fractures need to go to a regular hospital, do not delay treatment.
