How to treat lumbar compression fractures

Lumbar compression fractures, if the vertebral compression does not exceed 1/3, can be treated conservatively, generally let the patient rest in bed for about 6 weeks, if out of bed to wear braces. If lumbar compression fractures, vertebral compression more than 1/3, and there are bone fragments in the spinal canal, this case is recommended for posterior lumbar reduction pedicle screw fixation surgery. For some elderly patients, if there is a lumbar compression fracture, vertebroplasty can be used, that is, through the pedicle, bone cement injected into the vertebral body, can play a rapid role in pain.
