Minimally invasive relief for spinal fractures—right here in Westchester County.
What Are Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty?
Both kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are minimally invasive spine procedures designed to treat vertebral compression fractures by stabilizing weakened or collapsed spinal bones.
- Kyphoplasty uses a small balloon to create space inside the fractured vertebra before injecting bone cement, helping restore lost vertebral height.
- Vertebroplasty involves injecting medical-grade bone cement directly into the fracture for immediate reinforcement.
These outpatient procedures are performed through a small incision using fluoroscopic (real-time X-ray) guidance and typically take under an hour.
