How long does it take to recover from lumbar fracture?

The recovery time of a broken lumbar spine varies from person to person and usually takes months to years.

If the fracture is only minor, the recovery may be relatively fast; however, if it is a serious fracture with dislocation and other complicated conditions, the recovery time will be greatly prolonged. Minor fractures may gradually recover within a few months after proper treatment and rest; severe injuries may require multiple operations and long-term rehabilitation treatment.

Surgical treatment can better reduce and fix the lumbar spine, creating conditions for rehabilitation, but it also requires a longer period of recovery and rehabilitation training after surgery. Active rehabilitation training after surgery is very important to restore lumbar spine function, including back muscle exercise, joint mobility training, etc., but training needs to be gradual and not excessive, otherwise it may lead to re-injury
