What Are Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty?

Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are two image-guided procedures that stabilize spinal compression fractures—typically caused by osteoporosis, trauma, or age-related disc degeneration.

  • Kyphoplasty involves inflating a small balloon inside the collapsed vertebra to restore height, then filling the space with bone cement for stability.
  • Vertebroplasty skips the balloon step, using cement alone to reinforce the fractured bone.

Both procedures are minimally invasive, performed through a small incision, and typically completed in under an hour. Your surgeon will recommend the right option based on your symptoms and spinal imaging.

Who Is a Candidate?

You may benefit from kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty if you have:

  • Persistent back pain following a minor fall or strain
  • A visible loss of height or a stooped posture
  • MRI or X-ray evidence of spinal compression fractures
  • Numbness or leg weakness linked to vertebral instability
  • Difficulty walking, bending, or standing due to back pain
  • No relief from rest, bracing, or pain medications

Many of our NYC patients seek care after weeks or months of ineffective non-surgical treatments. These procedures can offer meaningful relief and help restore your independence.

What to Expect from the Procedure

Both kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are outpatient surgeries performed with local anesthesia and light sedation.

The Process:

  • Preoperative Imaging: We use advanced MRI or CT to pinpoint the fracture.
  • Minimally Invasive Treatment: Through a tiny incision, a needle is guided to the fracture site under real-time imaging.
  • Cement Injection: Medical-grade bone cement is injected (and balloon inflation used for kyphoplasty).
  • Rapid Recovery: Most patients walk out the same day with reduced pain and improved mobility.

Post-Procedure Recovery:

  • Most feel relief within 24 hours
  • Light activity can resume within a few days
  • You’ll receive instructions on rest, posture, and gradual return to movement
  • Long-term follow-up may include physical therapy and bone health support
