A member asked:

Can my vertebral compression fracture heal on its own without surgery? will i need an orthosis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Typically, a compression fracture in a 20 year old will heal in three months without surgery. If it is in the lower thoracic or lumbar spine, a brace will help. Please get specific advice from your doctor.
