Kyphoplasty is a proven, effective minimally invasive procedure that provides rapid substantial relief of pain due to osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures in the spine. Results are usually immediate and prevent loss of mobility and functional capacity, avoiding the complications of prolonged bed rest and opioid analgesics.
Fracture stabilization with bone cement can prevent further injury and has the potential for heigh restoration or maintenance.
The injection is done in the office surgical suite, using a combination of local anesthetics and moderate sedation.
