It's very hard to give a concrete answer to this question. It really depends on the severity of the fracture and the overall fitness level of the individual. Each person heals at a different rate. Your physician can give you a reasonable estimate.

A crushed vertebrae is a pretty serious accident, so for full recovery it takes about 6 months to a year.

It depends on how severe the injury is and how many vertebrae are crushed. Do not expect anything less than a year. It is a very serious injury that will require surgery and physical therapy. Also, you will have to be under constant care by a physician. It's important not to rush recovery for this kind of injury.
