What to do if you have a compression fracture?

If it is just a simple compression fracture, and the compression is less than 1/2, and it is not complicated by other diseases, it is best to treat it conservatively.

If the diagnosis is clear and it is only a simple compression fracture of the lumbar vertebral body, and the fracture is less than 1/2, it can be treated conservatively. Precautions during treatment: 1. Sleep on a hard bed and wear a waistband; 2. Always ask the patient to cough and pat his back to prevent pneumonia; 3. Turn over frequently (once every two hours) to prevent bedsores, if possible. Sleep on an air mattress; 4. Drink plenty of water, eat easily digestible multi-fiber food and other routine care. 5. Encourage patients to perform early functional exercises on the back muscles and upper and lower limbs.
