​Surgery for lumbar compression fracture after falling from high school

In our daily lives, accidents are inevitable. For some people working at heights, falling from a height is a very scary thing. Generally, even if a person is not killed by a blow from a high place, other parts of the body will be injured. Since most people fall from a height and land on their backs, it is very easy to get lumbar fractures. So how should the surgery for lumbar compression fractures caused by falling from a height be performed?

1. If the vertebral compression fracture does not exceed one-third, conservative treatment can be used, and the patient can lie still on a hard bed. Qizhengxiaotie can be applied externally for treatment. Guidance: If the vertebral compression fracture does not exceed one-third, conservative treatment is recommended. External use of Qizheng Xiaotie is recommended.

2. Lumbar fracture or dislocation leading to nerve or spinal cord injury Guidance: In this case, active surgical treatment is required to reduce and fix the nerves to relieve nerve compression, and then rehabilitation treatment can be carried out with nerve nourishing drugs, acupuncture, physical therapy, exercise, etc.

3. A fracture is a complete or partial break in the continuity of a bone structure. It is more common in children and the elderly, but also occurs occasionally in young and middle-aged people. Patients often have a fracture in one location, and a few have multiple fractures. With timely and appropriate treatment, most patients can recover their original functions, but a few patients may have sequelae of varying degrees.

4. Lumbar spondylosis has low back and leg pain and limited lumbar movement as its main symptoms, and may be accompanied by a series of complex related symptoms. It also causes many consequences. Mild cases can cause lesions in various parts of the patient's body, affecting the patient's daily work and life. Severe cases may even cause disability, seriously endangering the patient's life and health. Simple compression fracture, vertebral compression ≤ 50%, the patient should lie on a hard bed and receive symptomatic treatment for 3 to 4 weeks. And do back muscle function exercises as early as possible. Vertebral compression > 50% affects spinal stability and surgical instrument reduction and internal fixation is recommended. In burst fractures, the anterior and middle columns of the spine are damaged and are often accompanied by spinal nerve damage. Early treatment is recommended to decompress the spinal canal as soon as possible to restore spinal stability and create conditions for the recovery of spinal nerve function. Guidance: It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up. The Eight-Character Method can be used to fix it. The patient should pay attention to rest, take some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing and pain-relieving drugs, and eat more foods high in calcium to promote healing.
