What is Kyphoplasty?

Balloon Kyphoplasty is a way to treat painful compression fractures in the bones of the spine. A compression fracture occurs when all or part of a vertebrae collapses. Compression fractures are most common in people who have suffered severe trauma to the spine like auto accident victims, but are also common in the elderly who may have osteoporosis or other weakness in their bone structure.

What are the symptoms of spinal compression fractures?

• Sudden onset of severe back pain (many people can pinpoint the event that caused the pain and when the pain began.)
• The pain subsides when lying down
• Severe pain returns when you stand up after lying down and when walking or moving

People with compression fractures can suffer from disabling pain that is often described as “sharp” or “knife-like.”

The Kyphoplasty procedure takes approximately 45 minutes and restores vertebral structure to damaged vertebrae providing immediate and lasting pain relief from compression fractures due to osteoporosis or other bone-weakening causes.

Kyphoplasty is done under conscious sedation. The physician inserts a balloon-like device to help restore the height and shape of the spine and then injects a substance similar to cement that quickly hardens and stabilizes the spine—which in turn relieves the pain. Many patients experience immediate relief from their pain and can reduce or eliminate their pain medication.

Kyphoplasty treatment for compression fractures of the spine can provide life-changing results for many patients.
