A member asked:
How long would someone likely be in hospital for a broken back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: A broken back is a vague term, since there are many forms of vertebral fracture. With more severe injuries requiring surgery, such as with spinal cord injury or spinal instability from the fracture, extended hospitalization and/or rehabilitation may be required.
