Fractured vertebrae in the thoracic vertebrae, can this be corrected? - fractured vertebrae

My mother has a broken vertebra in his upper back, which caused him terrible pain, and 2 other back problems. However, to this particular problem through the operation address the surgeon told her lungs to collapse of the operation carried out in this part of the upper vertebra (chest?), What is very dangerous. Is there an operation, this problem, the safer and more effective? she tried physiotherapy / massage / exercise, etc., without positive results.
Has anyone not had surgery for a similar problem, and it was successful, right?
