What is Kyphoplasty?
Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat painful vertebral compression fractures caused by osteoporosis, injury, or weakened spinal bones. During treatment, a small balloon is inserted into the fractured vertebra and gently inflated to create space and help restore some of the lost height. The balloon is then removed, and medical-grade bone cement is placed into the cavity to stabilize the bone. This procedure can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support spinal strength. It is commonly recommended when conservative treatments do not provide enough relief.
Conditions Treated with Kyphoplasty
Osteoporosis
Weak bones caused by osteoporosis can lead to painful compression fractures. Kyphoplasty helps stabilize the affected vertebra and improve comfort.
Traumatic Fractures
Spinal fractures caused by falls or accidents may result in severe pain and reduced mobility. Kyphoplasty can help restore spinal stability in eligible patients.
Compression Fractures
Painful vertebral compression fractures that do not improve with conservative care may be treated with Vertebral compression fracture treatment using kyphoplasty.
Multiple Fractures
People with fractures in more than one vertebra may experience ongoing pain and posture changes. Kyphoplasty helps stabilize the affected spinal bones.
Spinal Tumors
Certain spinal tumors can weaken the vertebrae and increase the risk of fractures. Kyphoplasty may help relieve pain and strengthen the affected area.
Vertebral Collapse
Compression fractures can gradually lead to vertebral collapse and spinal deformity. Early treatment may help prevent further damage.
Osteoporosis Pain
Patients with chronic pain caused by osteoporosis-related fractures may benefit from osteoporosis spine fracture treatment after a thorough evaluation.
Limited Mobility
Compression fractures can make standing, walking, and daily activities difficult. Kyphoplasty helps improve stability and supports better movement.
Benefits of Kyphoplasty
Kyphoplasty can help stabilize a fractured vertebra, reduce pain, and improve movement with a minimally invasive approach. For eligible patients, the procedure may also support faster recovery and better daily function.
Who May Be a Candidate?
Kyphoplasty may be recommended for people with painful vertebral compression fractures that affect mobility or daily activities. At AdvancedCare Surgery Centers, Dr. Rao K. Ali evaluates each patient to determine if the procedure is appropriate. Candidates may include those who experience:
How the Kyphoplasty Procedure Is Performed
Step 1: Patient Preparation
The patient is positioned comfortably, and anesthesia or sedation is administered before the procedure begins.
Step 2: Imaging Guidance
Real-time X-ray imaging is used to identify the fractured vertebra and guide the instruments safely.
Step 3: Small Incision
A small incision is made over the treatment area to access the damaged vertebra.
Step 4: Needle Placement
A specialized needle is carefully advanced into the fractured vertebra using precise imaging guidance.
Step 5: Balloon Insertion
During balloon kyphoplasty, a small balloon is inserted into the vertebra and gently inflated to create space.
Step 6: Balloon Removal
The balloon is removed after creating a cavity and helping restore some of the lost vertebral height.
Step 7: Bone Cement Injection
Medical-grade bone cement is injected into the cavity to stabilize the fracture during compression fracture surgery.
Step 8: Recovery Monitoring
The incision is closed, and the patient is monitored before receiving discharge and recovery instructions.
Recovery After Kyphoplasty
Recovery after kyphoplasty is typically faster than traditional spine surgery, and many patients are able to return home the same day. Pain and mobility may begin to improve within the first few days as the treated vertebra becomes more stable. Recovery time can vary depending on the severity of the fracture, overall health, and activity level. Following your physician's instructions for movement, medications, and follow-up care helps support proper healing, improved function, and long-term spinal stability.
