What Are Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty?

Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are minimally invasive spinal procedures designed to repair fractured vertebrae caused by:

  • Osteoporosis
  • Trauma or falls
  • Spinal tumors or degeneration

Key Differences:

  • Kyphoplasty: A balloon is inserted into the collapsed vertebra to restore height before bone cement is injected.
  • Vertebroplasty: Cement is injected directly into the fractured bone without balloon inflation.

Both are performed through a small incision and typically take less than an hour—allowing for same-day discharge and quick recovery.

Who Is a Candidate for Kyphoplasty or Vertebroplasty?

These procedures may be right for you if you have:

  • Ongoing back pain after a minor fall or lifting incident
  • Loss of height or a hunched posture
  • MRI or X-ray showing spinal compression fractures
  • Pain that limits your ability to walk, bend, or stand
  • No improvement with rest, pain medications, or bracing

Our Commack spine specialists will conduct a full evaluation and imaging study to determine if you’re a candidate.

What to Expect from the Procedure

The Process:

  • Imaging Evaluation: We’ll confirm your fracture using MRI or CT scans.
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery: A small needle is inserted into the vertebra under real-time X-ray guidance.
  • Cement Stabilization: Special bone cement is injected to strengthen the fracture. In kyphoplasty, a balloon is used to restore vertebral height before cement placement.

Recovery:

  • Many patients feel immediate or next-day pain relief
  • Light activity may resume within 2–3 days
  • You’ll receive home care instructions and, if needed, a referral for in-house physical therapy to support mobility and bone strength
