Q&A About Kyphoplasty:
Q1: What is Kyphoplasty?
A1: Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat vertebral compression fractures, often caused by osteoporosis or trauma. It involves the injection of bone cement into the fractured vertebra to restore its height and relieve pain.
Q2: What conditions can be treated with Kyphoplasty?
A2: Kyphoplasty is primarily used to treat vertebral compression fractures caused by osteoporosis, spinal tumors, or trauma.
Q3: How does Kyphoplasty work?
A3: During Kyphoplasty, a small incision is made, and a balloon-like device is inserted into the fractured vertebra. The balloon is inflated to create space, and then bone cement is injected to stabilize the vertebra.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for Kyphoplasty:
Severe Back Pain: Intense, localized pain in the back.
Height Loss: A visible reduction in height or hunching of the spine.
Difficulty Breathing or Swallowing: In severe cases, compression fractures can affect lung and digestive function.
