Patient's question:
I received some bad news today. An old friend was in a car accident. His small car collided with a large truck, resulting in a burst fracture of the 12th thoracic vertebra and spinal cord injury. I went to the hospital to see him, but he couldn't move at all. How should a burst fracture of the 12th thoracic vertebra and spinal cord injury be treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in this situation, it is generally necessary to consider visiting a large, reputable hospital for orthopedic follow-up and surgical treatment, as conservative treatment tends to be relatively ineffective. After surgery, it is essential to follow routine nursing measures and cooperate with traditional Chinese medicine therapy to help the body recover more quickly and completely. Generally, the complete recovery period is at least 105 days. Exercising too early can easily lead to adverse sequelae. It is important to consume a variety of nutritious foods.
