Answer:

It sounds like paralysis.

Explanation:

I don't think a fracture in the thoracic spine would cause him to not feel anything from the waist down. In fact, he should be feeling pain.

Radiological will reveal what exactly is going on without any unnecessary assumptions. I am leaning towards axial burst or extension fracture.

I am also not a doctor.
