Multiple fractures of lumbar spine and pelvis - what does this mean

What happens during the disease - multiple fractures of lumbar spine and pelvis
Multiple fractures of the lumbar spine and pelvis are caused by a high-energy trauma such as a motor vehicle accident, fall from a significant height, or a direct blow to the back. the force of the trauma is transferred to the bones of the lumbar spine and pelvis, resulting in fractures of the vertebrae and/or the pelvic bones. the severity of the fractures will depend on the amount of force involved and the position of the body at the time of the trauma.
