What is a fractured back?

A fractured back, as experienced by Travis Barker, refers to a break in one or more of the vertebrae, the bones that make up the spinal column. These injuries can range from minor cracks to severe breaks that impact the spinal cord. They are often caused by significant trauma, such as a plane crash, and can lead to considerable pain and mobility issues, requiring extensive recovery.
