Compression Fracture Treatments

Kyphoplasty is a procedure to relieve pain from spinal compression fractures caused by conditions such as osteoporosis and trauma. It involves inserting a balloon into the fractured bone, and filling it with bone cement to stabilize the fracture and reduce pain. This restores vertebral height and improves overall spine alignment, providing quick relief from back pain. 

Kyphoplasty is often recommended for patients who have the following:

• Vertebral compression fractures
• Osteoporosis
• Trauma
• Spine affected by tumors
