What is Vertebroplasty?

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.

Procedure Steps

1

Diagnosis

MRI and X-ray to confirm acute fracture and edema.

2

Pre-Procedure

Basic blood work. No general anaesthesia required usually.

3

The Procedure

30-45 mins per level under local anaesthesia and sedation.

4

Immediate Relief

Pain relief is often instantaneous as the cement stabilizes the bone.

5

Mobilization

Walk within 2-3 hours after the procedure.

6

Discharge

Go home the same evening or next morning.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty?

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.

Is general anaesthesia required?

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.

How quickly does the pain go away?

Most patients experience significant pain relief within 2 to 24 hours after the procedure. The cement hardens in minutes, providing immediate stability.

Are these procedures safe for elderly patients?

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.

Can I walk after surgery?

Yes, we encourage patients to walk within 2-3 hours after the procedure. Early mobilization helps prevent complications like blood clots and pneumonia.

What is the cost of Vertebroplasty in Hyderabad?

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.
