Appointment Helpline
Minimally invasive procedures to treat people with vertebral compression fractures.
In vertebroplasty, bone cement called polymethylmethacrylate is directly injected into the fractured bone through a hollow needle.
Whereas, in kyphoplasty, before injecting the bone cement, the compressed vertebrae is expanded with the help of a balloon raising it back to its normal height. The balloon is withdrawn and the space between the vertebrae is filled with the bone cement.
Common causes of a non-traumatic/ trivial trauma vertebral fracture
Osteoporosis
A metastatic tumour growth.
Bone marrow cancer or multiple myeloma
Vertebral haemangioma or benign vascular tumors
