Depends on: Severity. The major issues are stability and cord impingement. If a spine is unstable, it will need surgical correction. If it is a stable fracture, it will depend on where the fracture is and your overall health as to what the treatment options are. If the spinal cord is threatened or damage, this also can require surgery. I hope this helps and best of luck!
