Kyphoplasty Procedure

Kyphoplasty is a specialized procedure performed to treat vertebral compression fractures, which are often caused by osteoporosis, trauma, or cancer. During the procedure, a small incision is made, and a narrow tube is guided into the fractured vertebra under X-ray guidance. Through this tube, a specialized balloon is inserted into the fractured area and gently inflated to create a cavity within the bone. The balloon is then deflated and removed, creating space for the injection of bone cement, which stabilizes the vertebra.

• Rapid Pain Relief: Kyphoplasty provides immediate pain relief for patients suffering from vertebral compression fractures. By stabilizing the fractured vertebra and restoring its height, this procedure significantly reduces pain and discomfort, allowing patients to resume their daily activities more comfortably.
• Restored Spinal Stability: Vertebral compression fractures can cause the spine to lose its natural curvature and stability. Kyphoplasty aims to restore spinal alignment, reducing the risk of further fractures and improving overall spinal stability.
• Minimally Invasive Approach: Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure, requiring only a small incision. This results in minimal tissue damage, reduced blood loss, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgeries.
• Outpatient Procedure: In most cases, kyphoplasty is performed on an outpatient basis, meaning patients can return home the same day. This offers convenience and minimizes the need for an extended hospital stay.
• Improved Quality of Life: By alleviating pain, restoring spinal stability, and promoting early mobilization, kyphoplasty can significantly enhance a patient’s quality of life. It allows individuals to regain their independence, engage in physical activities, and enjoy an improved overall well-being.

Kyphoplasty may be an appropriate treatment option if you are experiencing:

• Severe and persistent back pain due to vertebral compression fractures
• Loss of spinal height or curvature
• Limited mobility and reduced ability to perform daily activities
• A decline in overall quality of life due to spinal instability
