Kyphoplasty at vertebral fractures

Kyphoplasty is a surgical method used to stabilize minimally invasive ill and ruptured vertebrals by supplementation with bone cement. We use this method for patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures and vertebral ruptures (osteoporosis, tumours, metastases, traumata).

The indication is only implemented if, despite adequate pain treatment and physiotherapy, the patient is still suffering from undiminishingly strong (chronic) back pain.

For kyphplasty, initially, the concerned area is raised up by a ballon which has been placed into the ruptured vertebra. Subsequently, the constructed cavity is filled with bone cement. The surgery takes approximately 20 minutes for each vertebral.

Kyphoplasty enables significant pain reduction and prevents further rupture of the concerned vertebras. It shows significant pain reduction.
