Vertebroplasty And Kyphoplasty Hospitals in Broadway

Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty are minimally invasive treatments used to repair vertebral compression fractures of the spine, which can cause a humped spine (kyphosis) if left untreated. These fractures, caused by osteoporosis and injury, result in a wedge-shaped vertebra and can cause back pain, reduced physical activity, depression, loss of independence, decreased lung capacity, and difficulty sleeping. Both procedures involve injecting bone cement into the fractured bone through a hollow needle, while Kyphoplasty uses a balloon to expand the compressed vertebra to its normal height before filling it with cement. The cement-reinforced vertebra enables straighter posture, reduces pain, and helps prevent further fractures.

Kyphoplasty returns the vertebra to its normal position before the bone hardens, resulting in significantly less pain for patients who have undergone Kyphoplasty. Manipal Hospitals offer high-quality Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty in Bhubaneswar for various spine issues using advanced procedures like Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty.

FAQ's

Vertebroplasty or Kyphoplasty may serve as a therapeutic option for individuals suffering from painful spinal compression fractures.

  • Osteoporosis (depletion of calcium in bones)

  • Metastatic tumour (cancer spread)

  • Multiple myeloma (bone marrow malignancy)

  • Vertebral haemangioma (a benign vascular tumour) 

You might not be a suitable candidate for Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty if you have:

  • Non-painful and stable compression fractures

  • Bone infection (osteomyelitis)

  • Bleeding disorders

  • Fracture fragment or tumour in the spinal canal

A neurosurgeon, orthopaedic surgeon, or interventional neuroradiologist can perform Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty. Many spine surgeons have received specialised training in Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery. 
 


The following things can be expected before Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty:

  • Before surgery, patients must fill out paperwork and sign consent forms to ensure their surgeon knows their medical history. 
  • Presurgical tests may be necessary several days before surgery.
  • Consult your healthcare professional about stopping certain medications and ensuring clearance for surgery.
  • Continue taking the recommended medications, but stop non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines and blood thinners 7 days before the surgery.
  • Stop using nicotine and alcohol 1 week before and 2 weeks after surgery to avoid bleeding and healing problems.
  • Wash your skin before surgery to kill bacteria and reduce surgical site infections.
  • Don't eat or drink after midnight before surgery, and take permitted medicines with a small sip of water.
  • Patients are admitted to the hospital on the morning of the procedure and given general anaesthesia or conscious sedation to minimise pain and discomfort.
     

The surgeon will conduct a thorough medical history and physical examination. Diagnostic procedures (MRI, CT, or bone scan) may be used in your examination to confirm a spinal compression fracture. Your surgeon will also evaluate if your spine is "stable" or "unstable" and discuss all available treatment options.
