kyphoplasty

Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat painful spinal fractures, often caused by osteoporosis. During the procedure, a surgeon inserts a small balloon into the fractured vertebra and inflates it to create space and restore its height. Once the space is made, a special cement-like material is injected to stabilize the bone. This helps reduce pain, improve mobility, and prevent further collapse of the vertebra. Kyphoplasty is generally performed under local anesthesia and is designed to provide quick relief for individuals suffering from chronic back pain due to spinal fractures.
