Kyphoplasty is a treatment aimed at repairing fractures in vertebrae, or spinal bones. If this treatment is not applied, vertebral fractures may lead to a shortened spine that curves forward. Typically, the procedure is performed as an outpatient operation. You will return home the next day. Kyphoplasty is typically designated for individuals experiencing painful, worsening back pain caused by osteoporotic or pathological vertebral compression fractures. If you require a kyphoplasty procedure to alleviate your symptoms, Dr. Michael S. Slobasky, DO, DABPMR, along with his team at Global Neuro & Spine Institute, can provide the expert care you need.
