Kyphoplasty

Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat painful, weakened vertebrae (spinal bones) caused by a compression fracture. It involves injecting a medical grade bone cement into the affected vertebral body, creating a new shape and stabilizing the vertebrae to reduce pain and restore mobility. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes, and can be done in an outpatient setting. The benefits of kyphoplasty include improved quality of life, faster recovery time, and a lower risk of complications compared to traditional open fracture surgery. Kyphoplasty is a safe and effective procedure that can provide long-term relief for patients living with vertebral compression fractures.
