A burst fracture is a spinal injury where the vertebra breaks due to immediate and severe compression. Immediate trauma such as a car accident or a severe fall are the leading causes for burst fractures with pieces of the vertebra shattering into surrounding tissues and sometimes the spinal canal.This is different from a compression fracture in that the vertebra breaks in multiple directions.A patient with a burst fracture requires immediate hospitalization and treatment to prevent or minimize spinal cord injury.Immediate hospitalization is required, as such injuries may result in varying degrees of spinal cord injury with possible paralysis.mmediate trauma such as a car accident or a severe fall are the leading causes for burst fractures with pieces of the vertebra shattering into surrounding tissues and sometimes the spinal canal.
In an open fracture, the ends of the broken bone tear the skin. When the bone and skin are exposed, they are at risk of infection. This type of fracture is also called a compound fracture. In a closed fracture, the broken bone does not break the skin. broken bone can be described as a: 1  nondisplaced fracture: The bone is broken into pieces that can be aligned in place. 2  displaced fracture: The bone is broken into pieces that donât align. 3  hairline fracture: The bone is broken in a thin crack. 4  single fracture: The bone is broken only in one place.
