Why Can’t We Just Rebuild Broken Vertebrae with Technology to regain body movement?

369 views

When someone experiences a vertebral rupture due to an accident, they often lose general movement in specific parts of their body. However, I’ve always wondered why, given the advancements in technology, it remains challenging to rebuild the vertebrae and allow the body to heal itself, given the body even has the ability to do it.

Imagine a electric cord. But instead of 1 giant cable that is solid all the way thru, it has millions of tiny tiny cables. All bound together. To make the cable.

A single cut cable? No problem. We can fix that. We find both ends and connect them. Cut them all? Well it’s fine we can connect them together again but we have no idea where each cables goes. Maybe we connect them wrong and trying to move your legs ends up moves your left butt instead.

Beyond that we don’t acutally have the knowledge to do fix it to begin with
