Hunan**February 28 (correspondent Liu Fangyuan, Wang Kalun, Wang Guixiang, Quan** reporter Zhou Wei) "I didn't expect this 'bump' to be so serious. Thanks to the doctors, I was able to recover gradually. Today, in the Department of Orthopedics of Hunan Provincial People's Hospital, Ms. Wang, who lives in Changsha, shouted "thank you" before being discharged from the hospital.

Speaking of this fracture experience, Ms. Wang couldn't laugh or cry. "I was on the road through a pothole-ridden road, and when I passed a big pothole, the car jerked a lot. Ms. Wang said that because she was sitting in the back seat without wearing a seat belt, she was thrown into the air in an instant and fell back to her seat heavily, and she felt like her waist was broken. He immediately went to the hospital and was diagnosed with a compression fracture of the lumbar vertebrae.

This example seems to have a 'graphic sense', but it actually gives us some inspiration. He Xuejun, director of the fifth ward of the orthopedic department of the hospital, introduced that like Ms. Wang, in the process of riding, she did not wear a seat belt, the speed of the car was fast, and after being thrown up, her buttocks hit the ground, and the weight of her body was concentrated in the lumbar vertebrae, which caused a lumbar fracture.

He Xuejun introduced that lumbar compression fracture is a fracture with reduced vertebral height after the lumbar vertebral body is subjected to violence.

To avoid the risk of fractures on a long-distance ride, you must pay attention to the following points. With Ms. Wang's case, He Xuejun gave a reminder.

When you are riding in the car, you need to sit in a correct posture, keep your back straight, and put your feet on the ground to relieve the pressure on your lumbar spine. At the same time, fasten your seatbelt to ensure that you can maintain a relatively stable posture in case of unexpected situations. When riding the bus, try to choose a relatively stable position in the carriage. If you take a long ride, you should take a break and stretch your waist to relax your muscles and bones.

Once there is sudden low back pain, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time to determine whether there is a fracture or injury, so that the treatment can be treated according to the symptoms, accurately**, and recover health as soon as possible. He Xuejun said.
