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.
