KYPHOPLASTY / SPINE FRACTURES

The Kyphoplasty is a new technique for repairing osteoporotic spinal compression fractures in patients with intractable pain. A special needle is inserted into the fractured vertebral body under fluoroscopy, a balloon is inflated, which restores vertebral body height, and cement is injected into the space left by the balloon. Patients go home the same day, and pain relief usually occurs within 48 hours.
