Yes, a fracture of the 12th vertebra, known as the lumbar vertebra, can potentially lead to paralysis, particularly if the injury affects the spinal cord or the surrounding nerves. The extent of paralysis depends on the severity of the break and whether there is any damage to the spinal cord.

Immediate medical attention is crucial to assess the injury and determine the appropriate treatment.
