WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW

What Is Kyphoplasty / Vertebroplasty?

Both Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty are outpatient procedures designed to treat painful vertebral compression fractures. These fractures occur when spinal bones become weakened and collapse—commonly due to osteoporosis.

Vertebroplasty involves injecting a cement-like substance into the collapsed vertebra to stabilize and support the bone.

Kyphoplasty adds one step: a small balloon is inserted and gently inflated before the cement is placed. This helps restore height to the vertebra and correct spinal curvature.

These procedures:

Prevent further collapse or deformity
Relieve pain quickly
Improve mobility and function

You may benefit from kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty if you have:

A recent spinal compression fracture
Pain that has not responded to medications or rest
Limited mobility due to vertebral collapse
Osteoporosis or cancer-related bone weakening

Preparation

You’ll receive local anesthesia and conscious sedation. The procedure is performed while you’re awake but relaxed.

Balloon Insertion (Kyphoplasty Only)

A small balloon is inserted into the fractured vertebra and gently inflated to create space and restore bone height.

Cement Injection

The balloon is removed, and a cement-like substance is injected into the space to stabilize the fracture and prevent further collapse.

Completion

The cement hardens quickly, and the needle is removed. The entire procedure usually takes less than an hour for one vertebra.

Many patients report immediate or near-immediate pain relief, along with improved mobility and posture.

Post-treatment care may include:

Mild soreness at the injection site for a few days
Over-the-counter pain relievers if needed
Avoid lifting anything heavier than 5 pounds for the first 3 months
Resume light walking and normal bending as tolerated
A back brace may be recommended to support healing and prevent kyphosis

Notify your provider if you experience increased pain, fever, or signs of infection after the procedure.

Minimally invasive and low risk
Outpatient procedure—go home the same day
Immediate pain relief for many patients
Reduces risk of spinal deformity or future fractures
Restores mobility and daily function
