Lumbar fractures are a common type of external trauma.

As the name suggests, a lumbar fracture is a phenomenon where the lumbar vertebrae fracture due to the action of an external force.

Since the human lumbar region contains many tissues, including nerves, blood vessels, and cerebrospinal fluid, a lumbar fracture can be a very dangerous event!

A lumbar fracture could likely compress nerves, leading to neurological symptoms in the affected area!

If not dealt with promptly, the compressed nerves could become swollen, lose function, and the areas controlled by these nerves may then experience pain, limb dysfunction, loss of function, atrophy, and deformity due to the inability to receive nerve control and the necessary nutrients.

At the initial stage of the injury causing the spinal fracture, random movement of the injured could worsen the injury and cause even more serious spinal damage!
