A member asked:
What are options for transverse process fracture in l1&l2 that have not healed after one year? caused by traumatic fall
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A couple options: If no pain, nothing. Live with the a symptomatic nonunion. If it's bothersome, and confirmed that the pain is not from another source, then they can excise the fragment. I'd try pt and low back strengthening before going to that length though.
