Understanding Vertebroplasty & Kyphoplasty
Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty are minimally invasive procedures used to treat spinal compression fractures, commonly caused by osteoporosis, trauma, or tumors.
These procedures help stabilize fractured vertebrae, reduce pain, and restore spinal strength, allowing patients to regain mobility and improve quality of life.
In vertebroplasty, medical-grade cement is injected directly into the fractured vertebra to stabilize it. In kyphoplasty, a small balloon is first inserted to restore height before cement injection.
Both procedures are performed under imaging guidance to ensure precision and safety.
They are highly effective in providing rapid pain relief and preventing further spinal deformity.
Conditions Treated
- Osteoporotic Fractures: Weak bones leading to compression fractures.
- Spinal Trauma: Injury-related fractures.
- Vertebral Collapse: Loss of vertebral height.
- Chronic Back Pain: Due to spinal instability.
- Tumor-related Fractures: Cancer affecting spine.
- Spinal Deformity: Curvature due to fracture.
- Reduced Mobility: Difficulty in movement.
- Persistent Pain: Pain not responding to medication.
Treatment & Recovery Process
Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty are structured procedures designed to stabilize the spine, relieve pain, and restore function effectively.
The process involves accurate diagnosis, precise intervention, and guided recovery to ensure long-term benefits.
Diagnosis & Evaluation
Imaging tests such as X-ray, MRI, or CT scan are used to identify the fractured vertebra and assess severity.
A proper diagnosis ensures the most suitable treatment plan.
Procedure (Vertebroplasty / Kyphoplasty)
Cement is injected into the fractured vertebra to stabilize it. In kyphoplasty, a balloon is used to restore vertebral height first.
The procedure is minimally invasive and performed under imaging guidance.
Recovery & Rehabilitation
Pain relief is often immediate or within a few days after the procedure.
Physiotherapy helps improve posture, strengthen muscles, and prevent further fractures.
Post-Procedure Care Tips
Following proper care ensures faster recovery and prevents future complications.
Avoid Heavy Activities
Reduce strain on spine.
Maintain Posture
Support spinal alignment.
Bone Health Care
Calcium & Vitamin D support.
Regular Follow-up
Monitor spine condition.
