A fractured vertebra is when one of the bones in the vertebrae breaks due to some strong force, such as a car crash, a sports injury, or a harsh fall. There are 33 individual bones in the spinal column which allow us to keep an upright position, act as support for our head and neck, and they are also an essential component to the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS sends messages through the spinal cord to and away from the brain in order to carry out countless amount of everyday functions from sensory processing to motor skills.
Fractured vertebrae can be a simple, minor injury that results in mild pain and perhaps a strain or other type of manageable injury. Other times, the bones can be extremely fractured to where the injury is considered severe. At this point, the risk is that the displaced and shattered bone fragments could cause nerve damage due to the concentration of nerves surrounding the spinal cord. Due to the importance of the vertebrae itself and the structures surrounding it, this is considered a fairly serious injury that must be taken seriously.
These injuries can typically be treated with pain medications, rest, back bracing, and potentially surgery to repair the injury site. In a severe case of a fractured vertebra that results in some nerve damage, the victim risks partial or total paralysis in one or more areas of the body. This is even possible as you attempt to take remedial measures, such as in surgery. Every move must be very precise in the spinal cord as to avoid touching and tampering with the nerves around the bone fracture. Nerve damage could cause neurological impairments as well as physical limitations that can change a person’s life.
