What Are Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty?

Both kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are outpatient spine procedures used to treat compression fractures in the vertebrae—especially those caused by osteoporosis, spinal injury, or degenerative bone loss.

  • Kyphoplasty: A tiny balloon is inserted and inflated to create space in the collapsed vertebra. Bone cement is then injected to stabilize and restore vertebral height.
  • Vertebroplasty: Bone cement is injected directly into the fracture to reinforce the vertebra and prevent further collapse.

These procedures are performed using small incisions and image-guided tools, allowing for a quicker, safer recovery compared to traditional surgery.

Who Can Benefit?

You may be a good candidate for kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty if you have:

  • Sudden or worsening back pain after a minor fall or strain
  • A diagnosis of osteoporosis and suspected spinal fracture
  • A visible loss of height or forward spinal curvature
  • Difficulty walking or standing due to back pain
  • Limited relief from medications, rest, or bracing

Prompt treatment can prevent further spinal collapse and help restore your quality of life.

What to Expect During Treatment

Before Your Procedure:

You’ll meet with one of our Brooklyn spine specialists for a full consultation, where your symptoms and health history will be reviewed to determine if kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty is the right course of action.

During the Procedure:

  • The treatment is done under local anesthesia and light sedation
  • A small needle is inserted into the fractured vertebra
  • Bone cement is delivered into the bone to stabilize the area
  • If kyphoplasty is performed, a balloon is used first to restore height
  • The procedure typically takes less than an hour

After the Procedure:

  • Most patients feel significant pain relief within 24–48 hours
  • You’ll likely resume light activity within a few days
  • Follow-up care may include physical therapy and bone health guidance
  • Your provider will give detailed recovery instructions tailored to your needs
