Collapsed vertebra, not elsewhere classified, in the thoracolumbar region is a condition that occurs due to a fracture of the vertebrae in the middle and lower back. This type of fracture can cause the vertebrae to collapse, resulting in severe pain, limited mobility, and other complications. The condition is classified as a sequela of a fracture, which means that it is a long-term consequence of a previous injury.
Collapsed vertebrae can occur due to a variety of reasons, including osteoporosis, trauma, or degenerative disc disease. When the vertebrae collapse, it can cause the spine to become misaligned, leading to further complications such as nerve damage, spinal cord injury, and chronic pain.
Symptoms of collapsed vertebrae in the thoracolumbar region include severe back pain, limited mobility, numbness or tingling in the legs or feet, and difficulty walking. The condition may also cause a visible deformity in the spine, such as a hunched or rounded back.
