Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty
  • One can approach the problem of vertebral
    augmentation through two common methods known as
    balloon kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty.
  • Both of the procedures are included in the
    category of minimally invasive surgical
    procedures used for stabilizing a vertebral
    fracture.
  • Such procedures not only help alleviate the
    patients pain but also help in preventing any
    sort of spinal deformity.
  • If you are under stress or pain regarding your
    spine and its related regions consult an
    orthopedic spine specialist as soon as possible.

Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty
  • Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty
  • Both are medical procedures used for treating
    vertebral compressions in the spinal column which
    could lead to physical deformities and extreme
    pain in the affected areas.
  • The surgeon might insert a balloon into the
    fractured space to create space and then fill it
    up with cement.
  • Is Vertebroplasty a major surgery?
  • Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive medical
    procedure used for vertebral augmentation of a
    fractured or damaged spine.
  • The vertebroplasty procedure involves no
    manipulation or only external reduction of the
    fractured area by physical manipulation also
    known as extension.
  • Physical manipulation helps in creating space
    before filling materials are used to add support
    to the spine.

Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty
  • What is a Kyphoplasty procedure?
  • Kyphosis is a medical condition that arises due
    to the collapse of the vertebral body.
  • Kyphoplasty directly reduced the kyphosis present
    on an individuals spine.
  • During kyphoplasty, surgical instruments and
    devices are inserted in the broken vertebra and
    then are used to regain the original shape of the
    bone.
  • Stabilizing materials are then placed in the gaps
    present in order to provide support and strength.

Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty
  • Risks of Vertebral Augmentation
  • Although both the procedures are minimally
    invasive it is not to say that there are no risks
    involved during the operation.
  • The decision to go forward with such procedures
    should be taken carefully.
  • Vertebroplasty precautions are strict and should
    be followed in each case.

Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty
  • Some of the risks involved in the procedures are
    as follows
  • Pulmonary embolism of the lungs has been reported
    in rare cases which have led to the death of
    several patients.
  • Leakage of the cement further down in the spinal
    cord can cause further neurological complications
    and health risks.
  • Such leakages can also cause extreme pain to the
    individual.
  • The most common risk faced in vertebral
    augmentation is the leakage of the cement or
    other filling materials out of the vertebra.
  • X-ray guidance while performing the filling
    process is used in order to prevent such a
    complication from happening.

Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty
  • CONCLUSION
  • Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty surgeries are
    incredibly precise and delicate.
  • One should do extensive research and consult
    medical professionals before opting for any of
    the surgeries.
  • Choosing the right surgeon is the most crucial
    step for the success of your surgery, someone
    with extensive training and years of experience
    should be your choice.
