Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat vertebral compression fractures in the spine. This surgery is performed to relieve pain, stabilize the fractured vertebra, and restore vertebral height. During the procedure, a small incision is made, and a narrow tube called a trocar is inserted into the affected vertebra. A specialized balloon is then inserted through the trocar and inflated inside the vertebra to create a cavity. The balloon is deflated and removed, and medical-grade bone cement is injected into the cavity to stabilize the fractured vertebra.
Kyphoplasty is primarily used to treat vertebral compression fractures caused by osteoporosis, a condition that weakens the bones, making them susceptible to fractures. It can also be used to treat fractures resulting from spinal tumors or trauma.
The recovery process after a kyphoplasty procedure is typically relatively quick. Patients may experience immediate pain relief or a significant reduction in pain. They are usually able to get up and walk within a few hours after the procedure. The hospital stay is generally short, and most patients are discharged on the same day or the following day. Some discomfort or soreness at the incision site may be experienced, but it typically resolves within a few days. Physical activity and strenuous exercises may need to be limited for a few weeks to allow the vertebral cement to fully harden. Your care provider will give you specific instructions regarding medication, activity restrictions, and follow-up appointments.
Osteoporosis is defined as a medical condition in which bone density is reduced, making the bone more susceptible to fractures.
