Lumbar 1 compression fracture is what disease

Compression fracture of lumbar vertebra 1 is a relatively common and serious spinal injury.

It is usually caused by high-energy violence, such as falling from a height, car accidents, etc., directly acting on the lumbar vertebra. The violence is instantly transmitted to the lumbar vertebra 1, causing it to be squeezed and compressed. Compression deformation occurs. Patients may experience severe pain in the waist and limited mobility. In severe cases, they may be accompanied by neurological symptoms such as numbness and weakness in the lower limbs. Imaging examinations such as X-rays, CT and magnetic resonance imaging are mainly relied on to clearly diagnose and evaluate the severity of the fracture. Conservative treatment or surgical treatment is selected according to the severity of the fracture and the specific conditions of the patient. Mild compression and no nerve injury can be treated conservatively such as bed rest and brace fixation; severe compression or nerve injury may require surgical reduction, fixation and decompression.
