U need to find a good neurosurgeon
Fractures are only worrying if they splinter and press on the spinal cord.
if they are stable fractures -- the MRI and CT will show this, the Dr's will possibly just watch and wait, as surgery may not be needed.
We are not doctors on here, just people trying to help by passing on their experience.
You must ask your wife's Doctor any questions, and hopefully they will be able to reassure you.
What country do you live in that you can't trust the doctors?
I would think, though I'm not an expert, that the doctors are keeping an eye on her.
This is not a doctors site we are just ordinary people who try to help others with the knowledge, limited knowledge, that we have.
