Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty are minimally invasive procedures used to treat painful vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) in the spine, most commonly caused by osteoporosis.
When a spinal bone fractures, it collapses, causing severe back pain and a hunched posture. These procedures involve injecting a special medical cement into the fractured bone. This cement hardens quickly, stabilizing the fracture and providing significant pain relief.
If you have been diagnosed with an osteoporotic spine fracture, early intervention can prevent long-term deformity.
MRI and X-ray to confirm acute fracture and edema.
Basic blood work. No general anaesthesia required usually.
30-45 mins per level under local anaesthesia and sedation.
Pain relief is often instantaneous as the cement stabilizes the bone.
Walk within 2-3 hours after the procedure.
Go home the same evening or next morning.
Injection of medical-grade bone cement into a fractured vertebra to stabilize it and relieve pain.
Uses a small balloon to restore the height of the collapsed vertebra before injecting cement.
Taking a small sample of bone during the procedure to rule out infection or tumor.
High-resolution fluoroscopy guidance for perfect cement placement.
Strict protocols to prevent cement leakage complications.
90% of patients go home the same day or next morning.
Specialized team for managing elderly patients with comorbidities.
Transparent pricing for self-pay patients. Insurance packages available.

Vertebroplasty involves injecting cement directly into the fractured bone to stabilize it. Kyphoplasty uses a balloon first to create a cavity and restore height before injecting cement. Kyphoplasty is better if there is significant height loss.
Usually, no. Both procedures can be performed under local anaesthesia with mild sedation (Monitored Anaesthesia Care), making it safe for elderly patients with other health issues.
Most patients experience significant pain relief within 2 to 24 hours after the procedure. The cement hardens in minutes, providing immediate stability.
Yes, these are specifically designed for elderly patients with osteoporosis. Since they are minimally invasive and avoid general anaesthesia, they are very safe even for those 80+ years old.
Yes, we encourage patients to walk within 2-3 hours after the procedure. Early mobilization helps prevent complications like blood clots and pneumonia.
The cost typically ranges from ₹1.1 Lakh to ₹1.4 Lakh depending on the number of levels and type of cement used. Insurance usually covers this procedure.
