What Is Kyphoplasty and How It Works?
Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat painful spinal compression fractures, most often caused by osteoporosis, injury, or certain cancers. It works by creating space inside the collapsed vertebra with a small balloon, then filling that space with medical cement to stabilize the bone, reduce pain, and help restore spinal height.
