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

575 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.

We can! The problem most of the time is the nerves inside the bones rather than the bones themselves. Not only are nerves hard to repair but the ones in the spine are so important that any damage done is almost guaranteed to leave you with some type of problem no matter how much repair is done.
