Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Varies : It means you have a fracture, which is a break, in some part of the vertebrae. The fracture is not displaced, meaning the bone on each side has not shifted. Did you have a injury? Are you in pain. Treatment would be based upon the part if the spine involved and whether or not there we're associated soft tissue injuries. Discuss directly with your orthopedic surgeon.
