How is spinal fracture treated?

The treatment of spinal fractures mainly includes conservative treatment and surgical treatment.

1. Conservative treatment

For mild spinal fractures, such as stable fractures, without obvious nerve damage, conservative treatment can be selected. Patients need strict bed rest for a period of time, during which they should turn over regularly to prevent pressure sores from forming. At the same time, they can cooperate with brace fixation to maintain spinal stability. During bed rest, active movement and rehabilitation training of limbs should be actively carried out to prevent complications such as muscle atrophy and joint stiffness.

2. Surgical treatment

is often necessary for severe spinal fractures, such as unstable fractures, accompanied by obvious nerve compression, etc. The purpose of surgery is to restore the sequence and stability of the spinal column and relieve nerve compression. Surgical methods include open reduction and internal fixation, spinal fusion, etc. Through surgery, the normal structure of the spinal column can be reconstructed, creating conditions for the recovery of nerve function.
