Surgery for a lumbar spine fracture usually takes 1 to 3 hours, but the exact time of surgery depends on the severity of the patient’s lumbar spine fracture and the surgeon’s experience. In general, most can be completed in 1 to 3 hours. Severe lumbar fractures may take 3 to 5 hours. 1. If the lumbar fracture is not severe, the surgery can be completed in about an hour. If the patient’s lumbar fracture is more severe, then the surgery time will increase. Usually, the surgery can be completed within 3 hours. 2. In the case of mild lumbar compression fractures in the elderly, minimally invasive surgery, such as vertebroplasty, can be chosen, and the surgery usually takes less than 2 hours to complete. For severe lumbar burst fracture, it usually needs to be completed in 3 to 5 hours, in which the surgery requires endotomy repositioning and screw fixation. 3. The operation time of lumbar vertebral fracture is not definite. After lumbar vertebral fracture surgery, patients usually need to be strictly bedridden for protection during the recovery period, and actively change the dressing to prevent infection. Specific time also needs to consult the attending physician.
