Sequelae of spinal compression fractures

When people suffer from spinal compression fractures, they should receive timely treatment. Reduction and fixation are the key to treatment. However, the sequelae of spinal compression fractures are something patients should also understand. Fracture is a common disease that requires patients to have strong self-confidence and cooperate with the doctor's advice for rehabilitation recovery. Sometimes a fracture can be cured, but the fracture site will become more sensitive, so you should strengthen your exercise to avoid sequelae.

The treatment of spinal compression fractures advocates physical therapy and functional exercise as the main methods. In addition to symptomatic treatment with medication in the early stage, exercise is the main method in the later stage. Fractures are different from other diseases in that they have strong self-healing abilities. Reduction, fixation and functional exercise are often the key to treating fractures. Vertebral compression fractures are common diseases in orthopedics. Psychological care can be used to eliminate patients' concerns, increase their confidence, and encourage them to actively cooperate with treatment. Formulating a scientific and reasonable treatment plan and conscientiously implementing various nursing measures can effectively avoid the occurrence of sequelae.

1. Vertebral compression fractures are usually difficult to heal with conservative treatment. Daily activities can affect the waist, so the fracture should be fixed first to prevent the waist from being affected by any force, otherwise it will cause sequelae, such as back pain, leg and buttocks, and thigh pain.

2. Functional exercise after a fracture can exert the tension of the anterior longitudinal ligament of the spine and the fiber ring of the intervertebral disc as well as the muscle splinting effect of the lumbar and back muscles to avoid soft tissue adhesion and tissue fibrosis. Persistent exercise can significantly reduce the sequelae of spinal compression fractures and also promote blood circulation throughout the body.

3. Patients do not need to worry too much about the sequelae of spinal compression fractures. Although the bone will become fragile after compression fracture surgery. But as long as you take good care of it and don't let the fracture site get injured again, there will be no problem and no sequelae! The key is to keep exercising and protect it well!

Note: During the recovery process, do not eat raw, cold, stimulating food, tea, pork, white wine, or beverages to avoid leaving sequelae. The earlier you start functional training, the better. It can promote blood circulation, reduce muscle atrophy, eliminate soft tissue swelling, prevent osteoporosis and accelerate fracture healing.
