More details need to be given...things such as spondylolysis rarely need surgery...sometimes spondylolisthesis MIGHT need surgery, but only if you are having neurological signs. Other fractures that are not considered serious include compression fractures of the vertebral body, and fractures of the spinous process.

If you do not have these details, you need to speak with an orthopedic surgeon.
