Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern.

Generally after a fracture of this kind if it is stable (like I suppose in this case, otherwise you dad would have had spinal fixation) it is recommended a 6 week bed rest. Afterwards he can return to his normal activities with certain precautions. Generally these cases go well. He might have some back pain, but not serious or debilitating kind of pain.

Wish your dad the best health. Please feel free using MHC again.
