The Kyphoplasty is a new technique for repairing osteoporotic
spinal compression fractures in patients with intractable
pain. A special needle is inserted into the fractured
vertebral body under fluoroscopy, a balloon is inflated,
which restores vertebral body height, and cement is
injected into the space left by the balloon. Patients
go home the same day, and pain relief usually occurs
within 48 hours.
