Kyphoplasty – Relief from Spinal Fractures
A minimally invasive procedure that restores vertebral height, stabilizes fractures, and relieves pain caused by osteoporosis, trauma, or tumors.
What is Kyphoplasty?
Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive spinal procedure designed to treat vertebral compression fractures. Unlike vertebroplasty, it uses a balloon tamp to restore vertebral height before injecting medical-grade bone cement (PMMA). This not only stabilizes the fracture and relieves pain but also corrects spinal deformity caused by vertebral collapse. It is particularly effective for fractures due to osteoporosis, trauma, or tumors.

Kyphoplasty Treatment
Using X-ray or fluoroscopic guidance, the surgeon inserts a hollow needle through asmall skin puncture into the fractured vertebra. A tiny balloon is placed inside tocreate space and correct the collapsed bone.
The balloon is gently inflated to elevate the broken vertebra and restore its normalheight. This creates a cavity and helps correct spinal deformity caused by the fracture
Once the cavity is formed, the balloon is removed and medical-grade bone cement isinjected into the space. The cement hardens within minutes, stabilizing the bone andpreventing further collapse.
By stabilizing the fracture and reducing pressure on surrounding nerves, patients oftenexperience immediate or early pain relief after the procedure.
Kyphoplasty involves only tiny skin incisions, minimal bleeding, and shorterprocedure time. It is especially beneficial for elderly patients or those who cannotundergo major spine surgery.
Most patients can walk within a few hours and return home the same day. Normaldaily activities can be resumed gradually as pain improves and strength returns.
By restoring vertebral height and stabilizing the spine, kyphoplasty reduces the risk ofprogressive kyphosis (forward bending) and chronic back issues.
Why You Should Not Delay
Delaying kyphoplasty may cause persistent pain, spinal deformity, reduced mobility, or additional fractures. Early treatment restores mobility, corrects posture, and improves quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive spine procedure that uses a balloon and bone cement to fix painful vertebral compression fractures. It helps restore vertebral height and relieve back pain.
Healic doctors recommend kyphoplasty for patients with severe back pain from osteoporotic fractures, trauma-related fractures, spinal tumors, or loss of vertebral height causing posture problems.
A small incision is made, a balloon is inserted to lift the collapsed vertebra, and bone cement is injected to stabilize it. The procedure takes 30–90 minutes per vertebra and is usually day-care.
Most patients feel significant pain relief within 24–48 hours, and can walk shortly after the procedure.
Possible risks include cement leakage, infection, nerve irritation, or nearby vertebral fractures. These are uncommon, and Healic ensures expert, image-guided treatment for safety.
