Problems with the sequelae of vertebral compression fractures

Compression fracture is a wedge-shaped fracture, the fracture heals well, and it cannot change the shape, the pain at the fracture site is not good for fracture healing.

Many friends in life have caused lumbar compression fractures due to various reasons, but generally many people will have sequelae, and they are very worried at this time, in fact, don't worry, I will tell you what to do if there are sequelae.

Method steps.

The first method: first of all, it is necessary to lie on a hard bed** for at least 2 months, it is recommended to take bone tablets and calcium tablets** during the period to help the healing of fractures, if not, it is best to go to the hospital for infusion**, and do not bear weight in the future to prevent habitual fractures.

The second method: there will be some sequelae, such as not being able to bend over for a long time, bearing weight, and pain caused by cold. Now you should do more waist muscle tone exercises, such as waist rotation, sit-ups, swallow pose, gecko climbing wall, etc.

The third method: the fastest solution is to do surgery, of course, not to do general surgery, is to do vertebroplasty, sock stool is to use a minimally invasive method to inject bone cement into the fractured vertebrae.

Precautions. In addition to the above, you can also choose massage, acupuncture and other methods**, and you must rest a lot after a while.

Spinal compression fracture refers to a kind of spinal fracture characterized by the longitudinal height of the vertebral body being "flattened", including cervical compression fracture, thoracic compression fracture, lumbar compression fracture, etc.

Lumbar compression fracture refers to a type of spinal fracture characterized by the longitudinal height of the vertebral body being "flattened", and it is also the most common type of spinal fracture.

Thoracolumbar compression fractures are mostly caused by trauma, and osteoporotic fractures in the elderly are also mostly compression fractures. The latter usually suffers less severe injuries and can also manifest as stress fractures, i.e., the result of repeated accumulation of minor injuries. Pathologic fractures usually refer to bone tuberculosis, bone tumors that invade the vertebrae to cause minor injuries, or fractures that are not caused by trauma.

Osteoporotic fractures can also be considered pathological fractures.

Lumbar compression fractures are divided into two categories: traumatic and spontaneous (or pathological) according to the cause of formation. The former refers to lumbar compression fractures caused by indirect violence such as longitudinal compressive force (a person falling upright or being hit vertically by a heavy object) or hinge breaking force (extreme flexion and extension of the spine); The latter refers to the compression fracture of the lumbar vertebral body caused by pathological reasons such as osteoporosis, degeneration, infection, and tumor, or formed under the action of slight violence.

The spine is the main structure of the upper body that bears weight. As we age, the minerals and matrix of bone tissue gradually change, resulting in increased brittleness and reduced bending resistance of bone. Under the long-term action of its own gravity, cancellous bone eventually becomes wedge-shaped due to overwhelmed compression deformation.

This pathological change often occurs in the lower thoracic vertebrae and upper lumbar vertebrae, which is not formed in one or two days, but slowly compressed, and finally the whole cone becomes a trapezoidal shape that is broad and narrow at the back and narrow at the front, resulting in the curvature and deformation of the spine. The reason why most elderly people are hunched over and faltering is because of this change. This vertebral body is prone to fracture once it is subjected to indirect force in the vertical direction, or minor trauma, or even without trauma.

80 years old, thoracic vertebra compression fracture and osteoporosis, after PVP surgery half a month ago!

Don't you think this surgery is a mistake? Not to mention spinal surgery on an 80-year-old man, it is an emergency appendicitis surgery that is a major operation! Otherwise, there would be no old man saying "no overnight stay at 70 and no meal at 80"!

In addition, PVP surgery has a pretty good effect on herniated discs, but is it useful for thoracic compression fractures and osteoporosis? Still 80 years old! So to your question, mine is:

1. It is not a question of success or failure of the operation, but a question of whether it is necessary! If you talk about making a Chinese medicine orthopedic book, I will still be depressed for a long time; It's like a weathered old thatched house that needs to be modernized, can it work?

2. If you have trouble sleeping at night, you will feel that your waist is not self-controlled, and you can use two methods:

a.Physical methods, the hands and feet of the elderly are fixed (there is a person to take care of them or their hands can reach the warning bell);

b.Drug methods, painkillers: long-acting drugs such as Ethergreen and Fenpide;

Sleeping pills: It is recommended to use Sinos (Sinos can make the elderly fall asleep quickly and into deep sleep, if necessary.

to increase nitrodiazepam and prolong the duration of deep sleep).

Don't have surgery at 80 years old, physics**.
