Broken vertebrae possibly have associated spinal cord injury, and he is not able to move his both legs (in medical terms-paraplegia). Blood clots in legs below knee with swollen legs seems Deep venous thrombosis (DVT). He needs regular use of DVT pump in legs along with anticoagulants for treating this condition. If he started to have breathing difficulty (requiring breathing machine), there is chance that he had "pulmonary embolism" due to leg clots. I advise getting 2D Echocardiography, CENT Chest with pulmonary angiogram to look for pulmonary embolism.
