A member asked:
What amount force directed at the spinal region does it take to break the 10th thoracic vertebra?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thoracic vertebra: The 10th thoracic vertebra is well protected by the rib cage and spine so it would take a good deal of force to break or fracture at this level. The actual amount of force is determined by multiple variables such as age, body condition, muscle bulk among other things.
