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.

Are You a Candidate?

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

  • Sudden or worsening back pain after a minor fall or strain
  • Diagnosed osteoporosis or spinal compression fracture on imaging
  • Noticeable height loss or a hunched back
  • Pain that limits walking, standing, or daily activities
  • Little to no relief from rest, bracing, or pain medications

Early treatment can prevent further collapse, restore mobility, and improve overall quality of life.
