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

581 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.

Vertebra aren’t just cement spacers, they are very complicated, dynamic structures so impossible to fully reproduce. Any prosthesis is a poor substitute.
