Does a cervical compression fracture of c7 t1 heal completely?

Perspective: Compression fractures of the spine typically heal with time, often requiring bracing and less ofter, surgery. However, "healing" is relative. The loss of height will likely always be apparent. By "healed, " we typically mean that the bone integrity has been restored.

C Spine Fracture : Most spine fractures will heal with rest and spine support (brace). Ligament injury or fracture fragment compression on the spinal cord or nerve roots may require surgical decompression with or without stabilization. Consultation with a specialist in cervical spine injuries is indicated as misdiagnosis can lead to neurologic deficit.
