Vertebroplasty & Kyphoplasty | Dr. Om Prakash Gupta

Spinal health plays a crucial role in maintaining mobility, posture, and overall quality of life. Compression fractures of the spine, often caused by osteoporosis, trauma, or metastatic disease, can lead to severe pain and disability. Fortunately, advancements in spine care now offer minimally invasive procedures like Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty, providing fast pain relief and quicker recovery.

What Are Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty?
Both Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty are minimally invasive surgical procedures designed to stabilize fractured vertebrae and alleviate pain caused by spinal compression fractures.

1 Vertebroplasty:

• A special bone cement is injected directly into the collapsed or fractured vertebra under X-ray guidance.
• The cement hardens rapidly, stabilizing the vertebra and significantly reducing pain.

2 Kyphoplasty:

• A small balloon is first inserted into the fractured vertebra and inflated to restore height and correct spinal deformity.
• Then, bone cement is injected into the space created, offering stabilization and support.

Indications for These Procedures:

• Osteoporotic spinal fractures
• Compression fractures from trauma
• Vertebral damage due to cancer metastases
• Persistent back pain not responding to conservative treatment

Benefits of Vertebroplasty & Kyphoplasty:

• Minimally invasive – requires only a small incision
• Significant pain relief within 24–48 hours
• Outpatient or short hospital stay
• Improved mobility and quality of life
• Reduced dependence on pain medications

Who Is a Candidate?
Dr. Om Prakash Gupta evaluates patients based on:

• Detailed medical history
• Physical examination
• Imaging tests (X-ray, MRI, or CT scan)

Patients who have suffered a vertebral compression fracture and are not responding well to rest or medication may be ideal candidates.

Recovery and Aftercare:
Most patients can resume light activities within a day or two after the procedure. Dr. Gupta provides:

• Tailored rehabilitation advice
• Osteoporosis management if needed
• Guidelines on back care and lifestyle modifications to prevent future fractures
