One-third of lumbar compression fractures are mild lumbar compression fractures that are usually treated conservatively, or surgically if they cannot tolerate prolonged bed rest or are combined with spinal cord injury.
Lumbar compression fractures are most common in older adults with lumbar trauma or osteoporosis, and treatment varies depending on the severity of the fracture.
Lumbar compression fracture with vertebral compression level of 1/3 is usually treated conservatively with absolute bed rest and waiting for the recovery of the fracture because the compression level is less severe. Surgery is required for elderly people who can’t tolerate prolonged bed rest or lumbar compression fracture combined with spinal cord injury.
After checking and finding lumbar compression fracture, it is recommended to consult the doctor in time and choose the appropriate treatment under the doctor’s guidance.
