Kyphoplasty & Vertebroplasty

Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty are life-changing procedures for elderly patients suffering from severe vertebral compression fractures due to osteoporosis or spinal tumors. When a weakened vertebra collapses, it creates a wedge shape, causing agonizing pain and a hunched posture. Instead of enduring months of bed rest, patients can undergo this minimally invasive procedure. Kyphoplasty specifically uses a micro-balloon inflated inside the bone to restore lost height before injecting fast-hardening PMMA bone cement. The cement internally casts the broken bone, providing immediate structural integrity and near-instant pain relief.
