balloon kyphoplasty

Balloon kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat compressed or fractured vertebrae, often caused by osteoporosis. A small tube is inserted into the fractured bone, and a balloon is gently inflated to lift and restore the bone’s height. Once the desired shape is achieved, the balloon is removed, and the space is filled with quick-setting bone cement to stabilize the spine. This procedure helps reduce pain, restore mobility, and improve posture, with often minimal recovery time.
