What Is Kyphoplasty?

Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive spine procedure used to treat painful vertebral compression fractures, most commonly caused by osteoporosis, trauma, or cancer-related bone weakening. These fractures can lead to severe back pain, loss of mobility, spinal deformity, and reduced quality of life if left untreated.

At the Vascular and Neuroscience Institute of Southern California, kyphoplasty is performed using image-guided techniques that stabilize the fractured vertebra, restore height when possible, and rapidly relieve pain, often without the need for open surgery. This advanced approach makes kyphoplasty a preferred option for patients seeking the best spinal compression fracture treatment in Southern California and Nevada.

Who Is a Candidate for Kyphoplasty?

Kyphoplasty may be recommended for patients experiencing:

  • Painful Vertebral Compression Fractures: Especially those that do not improve with rest or medication
  • Osteoporosis-Related Fractures: The most common indication for kyphoplasty
  • Traumatic Spine Fractures: Resulting from falls or injuries
  • Cancer-Related Vertebral Collapse: Including fractures caused by tumors or metastases
  • Reduced Mobility or Spinal Deformity: Due to vertebral height loss
Early evaluation is critical, as treatment is most effective when performed soon after fracture onset.

What to Expect During a Kyphoplasty Procedure

Kyphoplasty is typically performed under sedation or light anesthesia. A small incision is made, and a narrow tube is guided into the fractured vertebra using real-time imaging. A balloon is gently inflated to create space and help restore vertebral height, then medical-grade bone cement is injected to stabilize the fracture. Most procedures take less than an hour per level, and many patients experience significant pain relief within 24 to 48 hours with minimal downtime.
