Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty

Kyphoplasty/vertebroplasty are generally reserved for people with painful progressive (increasing) back pain caused by osteoporotic or pathologic vertebral compression fractures. Candidates for these procedures often have a reduced ability to move and function because of the fractures.

Kyphoplasty/vertebroplasty procedures are considered minimally invasive procedures that are most often performed using general or local anaesthesia, and discharged on the same day.
