Why does a crush fracture of a thoracic vertebra rarely result in damage to the spinal cord?
In a crush fracture, the vertebral body collapses. This may not cause displacement of intervertebral (IV) discs or any of the verebral components. Thus, the spinal cord is unlikely to get injured. Crush fracture of the body indicates collapse, and so long the vertebral arch and IV discs are not dirupted the spinal canal will not be compromised. But that may also be applicable to all regions. The thoracic region however as it is convex posteriorly, collapse of the vertebral body will simply increase the convexity.

How many disc in a human neck?
There are normally thirty-three (33) vertebrae in humans, including the five that are fused to form the sacrum (the others are separated by intervertebral discs) and the four coccygeal bones that form the tailbone. The upper three regions comprise the remaining 24, and are grouped under the names cervical (7 vertebrae), thoracic (12 vertebrae) and lumbar (5 vertebrae), according to the regions they occupy. This number is sometimes increased by an additional vertebra in one region, or it may be diminished in one region, the deficiency often being supplied by an additional vertebra in another. The number of cervical vertebrae is, however, very rarely increased or diminished. With the exception of the first and second cervical, the true or movable vertebrae (the upper three regions) present certain common characteristics that are best studied by examining one from the middle of the thoracic region.
