Hello.

Thanks for posting your query.

I have gone through the reports provided by you. According to the history and MRI report, there is fracture of D12 vertebral body and changes in other vertebrae. Most important cause for weakness in his lower limbs is edema. Whatever treatment performed is to remove the pressure on the spinal cord at the fracture site and stabilized with rods and screws to prevent bending and causing further injury.

To predict the improvement in his lower limb power, I need to know his present neurological findings. If he has some movement in the limb and bowel and bladder sensation, usually they improve significantly, sometimes near total recovery with good physiotherapy over a period of few weeks to months.

Most important is good physiotherapy and patience.

I wish him speedy recovery and normal life.

I hope, I have answered your query. I will be available for follow up queries if any.

Regards.

Hello,
I am sorry for getting back late.

When I talk about neurological findings, I mean, clinical findings like power of lower limb, grade of sensation and reflexes. These are findings when a qualified physician performs a complete examination

It is good to know that your brother has some movement in right leg and bladder sensation. He has good chances of recovery. But, let me tell you again, chances are good with physiotherapy. So I would suggest that you continue physiotherapy at home as well.

I hope that the head injury part is stable now. Periodical neurological examination is necessary to know how much he is improving..

I hope this helps o clarify your doubts. Please feel free to communicate to me through this portal whenever required.

I wish him speedy recovery.

Regards.
