Vertebroplasty / Kyphoplasty

Vertebroplasty / Kyphoplasty

Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are minimally invasive procedures used to treat painful vertebral fractures, most commonly caused by osteoporosis. These fractures weaken the spine and can make simple movements extremely difficult. Both procedures aim to stabilize the fractured bone, reduce pain, and restore mobility with minimal downtime.

Symptoms That May Require Vertebroplasty or Kyphoplasty

Patients often experience sudden, sharp back pain, difficulty standing upright, and pain that worsens with movement. Some notice reduced height, a stooped posture, or long-lasting discomfort that does not improve with rest or medication. Persistent pain after a spinal fracture is the most common indication for these treatments.

Types of Procedures

Vertebroplasty involves injecting medical-grade bone cement into the fractured vertebra to stabilize it. Kyphoplasty is similar but includes the use of a small balloon to create space before injecting cement, which can help restore height and reduce spinal deformity. Both procedures are designed to strengthen the bone and provide quick pain relief.

Treatment and Process

The process begins with imaging to confirm the fracture and assess its severity. During the procedure, a small needle is inserted into the fractured vertebra under imaging guidance. Cement is carefully injected to stabilize the bone. Kyphoplasty adds an extra step of balloon inflation to correct collapse before cement placement. Most patients experience noticeable pain relief within hours to days, and recovery is typically rapid.
