Description

This 3D model illustrates a TX compression fracture, highlighting a transverse break in the thoracic vertebra. The fracture occurs as a result of axial loading or trauma, causing the vertebral body to collapse. The model emphasizes the mild to moderate displacement, which may lead to localized pain but typically does not result in significant instability. Treatment often involves conservative measures such as bracing and pain management, with the goal of allowing the vertebra to heal naturally. The model helps visualize the nature of the injury and its relatively favorable prognosis with appropriate care.
