A Smith's fracture - also known as a lateral curve fracture of the 5th lumbar vertebra (L5) - is one of the most common spinal injuries. Falls from your own height, accidents in sports (running, dancing) and accidents at work can lead to a Smith's fracture. This fracture is a compression fracture of the telvertebral segment at the L5 level, characterized by the following symptoms: pain in the side and/or back of the leg. There is no paralysis of the legs. I cannot answer this question because I do not have information about Smith's fracture
