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

367 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.

The simplest answer I received for this question was that nerves heal very slow and essentially they develop scar tissue faster than they can heal.
I know It’s not 100% correct but maybe good enough for ELI5 ?
