How long after the thoracic spine fracture to review the film review, need specific analysis of each case. For patients treated conservatively, it takes 8-12 weeks or even longer for the fracture to heal, so for those patients who can strictly comply with medical advice and perform bedside conservative treatment, X-ray review can be considered about 8 weeks after the injury, and CT examination is recommended. For surgically treated thoracic spine fractures, the first film should be reviewed within 2-3 days after surgery, and then the patient can wear a chest and waist brace as early as possible before walking on the ground, avoiding bending over to bear weight. It is generally recommended to review the 2nd X-ray or CT every 4 weeks or so after surgery until the fracture heals.
