SPINE SURGERIES

Kyphoplasty

Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure commonly performed by orthopedic surgeons to treat vertebral compression fractures, particularly those resulting from osteoporosis or other conditions causing weakened vertebrae. This procedure aims to stabilize the fractured vertebra and relieve pain. Here’s an overview of kyphoplasty as an orthopedic service:

Indications for Kyphoplasty:

  • Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures: Most commonly, kyphoplasty is used to treat compression fractures in the spine caused by osteoporosis.
  • Pathologic Fractures: Fractures resulting from conditions such as tumors or other abnormalities in the vertebrae.

Expected Outcomes:

  • Pain Relief: Kyphoplasty aims to relieve pain associated with vertebral compression fractures by stabilizing the fractured vertebra.
  • Restoration of Vertebral Height: The procedure can help restore some of the lost height in the collapsed vertebra.

Kyphoplasty is considered a relatively safe and effective procedure for certain patients with vertebral compression fractures. It is important for individuals considering this procedure to have a thorough discussion with their orthopedic surgeon to understand the potential benefits, risks, and expected outcomes based on their specific condition. The decision to undergo kyphoplasty is individualized, and healthcare providers consider various factors to create a treatment plan tailored to the patient’s needs.
