What are the sequelae of lumbar fracture?

1. If the kyphosis deformity of the spine due to lumbar fracture is not corrected, the force line of the spine will be changed. The concentrated force of the kyphosis deformity will also cause low back pain and fatigue symptoms. The degeneration rate of the spine will be accelerated, bone hyperplasia will be obvious, and hyperplasia and aggregation will occur in the joints, making lumbar spinal stenosis and ligament ossification more likely to occur.

2. The sequelae of lumbar fracture are mainly lumbar kyphosis, long-term recurrent back pain, back pain that changes with the weather, limited waist movement, and inability to engage in physical labor in severe cases. The main sequelae of lumbar fracture is local pain.

How is lumbar spinal stenosis treated?

Lumbar spinal stenosis generally requires surgical treatment. There are nerves running in the lumbar spinal canal. After the nerve roots are sent out, they innervate the waist and lower limbs. Under the influence of factors such as intervertebral disc herniation and thickening of the yellow ligament, spinal stenosis can occur. The typical symptom is intermittent claudication, that is, after the patient walks for a certain distance, both lower limbs will feel swollen and weak and need to rest. After walking a certain distance again, the symptoms recur. This can be called typical intermittent claudication. Due to nerve stimulation, the patient may also have symptoms of lower limb pain and discomfort, requiring CT and MRI diagnosis. Ultimately, surgery is needed to relieve nerve compression, expand the spinal canal, improve patient symptoms, and improve quality of life.

Lumbar spinal stenosis is a group of clinical symptoms caused by factors such as bone, fibrosis, displacement, etc. Lumbar spinal stenosis is a group of clinical symptoms caused by factors such as bone, fibrosis, displacement, etc., which lead to narrowing of the lumen plane and compression of the ponytail or nerve root.

Other treatments: rest and functional exercise. For severe pain, rest in bed to relieve symptoms. After the symptoms are relieved, wear a waist belt to get out of bed and do appropriate back muscle functional exercises.
