Minimally Invasive Relief for Painful Spinal Fractures

Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat painful vertebral compression fractures caused by osteoporosis, injury, or other spinal conditions. This procedure helps restore vertebral height, relieve pain, and improve mobility.

How It Works

Using real-time fluoroscopy (X-ray imaging) for precision, our interventional radiologists:

🔹 Insert a small balloon into the fractured vertebra through a tiny incision.
🔹 Gently inflate the balloon to restore vertebral height and create space.
🔹 Inject special bone cement into the cavity to stabilize the fracture and relieve pain.
🔹 Remove the balloon, leaving the cement in place for immediate support.

This outpatient procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation, allowing most patients to return home the same day.

Why Is This Procedure Done?

• To relieve severe, persistent back pain from vertebral fractures
• To restore lost vertebral height and improve posture
• As a minimally invasive alternative to traditional spinal surgery
• To enhance mobility and overall quality of life
