A kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat compression fractures in the spine that may be caused by trauma to the spine, osteoporosis, or other medical conditions. This procedure stabilizes the spine and helps to restore the height of the affected vertebra, providing improved mobility and significant pain relief.
This outpatient procedure involves the following steps:
Local or general anesthesia is administered to ensure your comfort.
A small incision is made near the affected area, then a balloon catheter is inserted into the fractured vertebra using X-ray guidance.
The balloon is gently inflated to create a space in the vertebra and restore its height.
Once the cavity is created, bone cement is injected to stabilize the vertebra and prevent further collapse.
You’ll be monitored briefly at the surgical center and can return home the same day.
