Vertebroplasty – Relief from Spinal Fracture Pain
A minimally invasive procedure that stabilizes fractured vertebrae, relieves pain, and restores mobility often within 24–48 hours.
What is Vertebroplasty?
Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive spinal surgery where medical-grade bone cement is injected into a fractured vertebra. This strengthens the bone, reduces pain, and prevents further collapse. It is commonly recommended for osteoporotic fractures, traumatic spinal injuries, or tumor-induced fractures when conservative treatments fail. Patients often experience rapid relief and improved mobility.

Vertebroplasty Treatment
Using X-ray or CT guidance, the doctor inserts a thin needle through a small skinpuncture into the fractured vertebra. This ensures accurate placement withoutdamaging surrounding tissues.
A special medical-grade bone cement is slowly injected into the fractured bone. Thecement hardens within minutes, stabilizing the vertebra and preventing furthercollapse.
Once the cement sets, the fractured bone becomes stable, which significantly reducespain and restores support to the spine. Most patients experience relief within hours.
Since vertebroplasty is performed through a tiny skin opening, it involves no majorincision, minimal blood loss, and less tissue damage. This makes it suitable even forelderly or high-risk patients.
After the procedure, patients can usually walk within a few hours and return home thesame day. Normal activities are gradually resumed as pain improves.
By strengthening the affected vertebra, the procedure helps prevent further collapseand reduces complications such as spinal deformity or chronic back pain.
Why You Should Not Delay
Delaying vertebroplasty may lead to worsening pain, spinal deformity, reduced mobility, or additional fractures. Early treatment provides faster pain relief and helps prevent complications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive spine procedure where bone cement is injected into a fractured vertebra to relieve pain and stabilize the bone. Healic performs it using advanced fluoroscopy or CT guidance for maximum precision.
Healic recommends vertebroplasty for painful vertebral compression fractures caused by osteoporosis, trauma, or tumors that don’t improve with rest, medicines, or bracing.
The procedure usually takes 30–60 minutes per vertebra, and most patients can walk shortly after the surgery.
Most patients experience significant pain relief within 24–48 hours after the procedure.
Diagnosis is confirmed through X-ray, MRI, and CT scans, along with a bone density test if osteoporosis is suspected.
Possible risks include cement leakage, infection, nerve irritation, or nearby vertebra fractures. Healic’s expert spine team minimizes risks with precise imaging and controlled cement placement.
