How long does it take to heal a cervical vertebra fracture

Symptoms such as cervical vertebra fractures require surgical repair, otherwise the worsening of the disease will affect normal life and work, so you should seek medical attention promptly for symptoms such as cervical vertebra fractures. Cervical vertebra fractures require a repair period to restore the bones, which is generally one or two months. During these one or two months, you must not overwork or damage your cervical vertebra, otherwise the pain will not be relieved after surgery.

Cervical fracture is a type of cervical spondylosis. This disease mostly occurs due to fractures caused by cervical osteoarthritis, hypertrophic cervical spondylitis and intervertebral disc herniation. Once you suffer from this disease, you should seek timely treatment after the symptoms appear. Otherwise, once the disease worsens, it will not only seriously affect the patient's normal life and work, but also have a great impact on their physical health. What are the clinical manifestations of cervical fracture?

1. Neck symptoms, which are also one of the first clinical manifestations after cervical fracture. The main symptoms are neck pain, movement disorders and cervical muscle spasm, and these symptoms are often accompanied by numbness and swelling. The local symptoms are mostly serious. At this time, patients should pay great attention to it to avoid other complications.

2. Spinal cord injury is a relatively serious clinical manifestation, and the proportion of complete spinal cord injury after cervical vertebrae fracture is also relatively high. Most patients will have varying degrees of paralysis signs after suffering from this disease, and only a few lucky patients will not develop it. This will directly affect the patient's normal life, so timely treatment should be carried out.

3. Fractures and dislocations. These symptoms are mostly discovered during examinations. For example, X-ray examinations can clearly show fractures and dislocations, and the prevertebral shadow will also widen. CT scans can also show whether there is displacement of bone fragments. MRI images can also clearly show damage to the spinal cord and other soft tissues, and the scope and extent of the damage can be clearly shown.
