Vertebroplasty / Kyphoplasty
Vertebroplasty / Kyphoplasty Treatment
Treatment Range Hospital in Hyderabad offers advanced vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty procedures to treat painful spinal compression fractures, commonly caused by osteoporosis, trauma, or tumors. These minimally invasive techniques help stabilize the fractured vertebra, relieve pain, and restore spinal function effectively.
In vertebroplasty, bone cement is injected into the weakened vertebra to provide immediate stability, while kyphoplasty also involves the use of a balloon to create space and restore height before cement placement. Both procedures are performed under image guidance, ensuring precision and quicker recovery with minimal hospital stay.
For patients seeking vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty in Hyderabad, Treatment Range Hospital combines expert spine care, advanced technology, and a patient-focused approach to help you regain mobility and reduce fracture-related pain.
- Your 6 - Phase health Process
Your Complete Vertebroplasty / Kyphoplasty Journey
🩺 Phase 1: Symptoms Identification
- Sudden, severe back pain after a minor fall or lifting
- Height loss or stooped posture (kyphosis)
- Limited mobility and difficulty standing or walking
- Pain worsens with movement and improves with rest
- Often seen in elderly patients with osteoporosis or metastatic spinal tumors
📋Phase 2: OPD Consultation with Spine Specialist
- Detailed medical history (osteoporosis, cancer, steroid use)
- Physical exam to check spinal tenderness and neurological function
- Initial X-rays to detect vertebral compression fractures
- Discussion of conservative treatment (bracing, pain medications) and when minimally invasive procedures are needed
🧪 Phase 3: Diagnosis & Planning
- MRI or CT scan to confirm fracture age and rule out spinal cord involvement
- Bone density (DEXA scan) for osteoporosis assessment
- Decision on vertebroplasty vs kyphoplasty based on fracture severity and vertebral height loss
- Preoperative blood work and anesthesia evaluation
💊Phase 4: Treatment Plan
- Vertebroplasty:Injection of medical-grade bone cement into the fractured vertebra for stabilization
- Kyphoplasty:A small balloon is inserted and inflated to restore vertebral height, then filled with cement
- Both are minimally invasive procedures done through a tiny skin incision under local or general anesthesia
🏥 Phase 5: Post-Procedure Care
- Hospital stay: Usually same-day discharge or 24 hours observation
- Small bandage at the needle insertion site, no large incisions
- Early mobilization encouraged within hours post-procedure
- Pain relief is often immediate or within 48 hours
- Follow-up in 1–2 weeks for evaluation and osteoporosis management planning
💪 Phase 6: Recovery
- Resume light activities in 1–2 days; avoid heavy lifting for 4–6 weeks
- Significant pain reduction and improved mobility in most patients
- Long-term osteoporosis management (calcium, vitamin D, bisphosphonates) to prevent future fractures
- Physiotherapy for posture correction and spine strengthening

Helping you understand Our healthcare
These are minimally invasive procedures to stabilize fractured vertebrae:
- Vertebroplasty: Bone cement is injected into the fractured vertebra to strengthen it.
- Kyphoplasty: A balloon is first inserted and inflated to restore vertebral height, then cement is injected.
Recommended for patients with:
- Painful spinal compression fractures due to osteoporosis
- Cancer-related (metastatic) vertebral fractures
- Non-healing fractures despite rest and medications
The surgeon uses a small needle under X-ray guidance to access the fractured vertebra. Bone cement is injected to stabilize the bone. Kyphoplasty adds a balloon step to correct deformity.
No. It’s performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. Most patients experience only mild discomfort at the needle site.
Most patients feel significant pain relief within 24–48 hours and return to normal activities in 1–2 days.
