What Are Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty?

These two procedures are used to treat spinal compression fractures—small breaks in the vertebrae that can cause pain, stooped posture, and limited mobility.

  • Kyphoplasty: A small balloon is inserted into the vertebra to gently lift and restore height. Then, bone cement is injected to secure the area.
  • Vertebroplasty: Bone cement is injected directly into the fractured vertebra to reinforce it without using a balloon.

Both are outpatient procedures performed through a small incision using real-time imaging for precision and safety.
