What Are Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty?
DFW Sports Medicine specializes in advanced treatments that restore mobility and reduce discomfort caused by vertebral compression fractures. Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are minimally invasive spine surgery techniques designed to repair spinal compression fractures. These fractures often result from osteoporosis, injury, or cancer, causing chronic pain and reduced mobility. Both procedures are used in spinal fracture treatment and are considered safe options for compression fracture repair. To find out which treatment may work for your condition, schedule a consultation at our McKinney, Frisco, or Lewisville, TX location today.
What Should I Expect from Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty?
At DFW Sports Medicine, Dr. Rathna Nuti will conduct a full evaluation of your spine and symptoms. This helps her decide if kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty is the right fit. X-rays or MRIs are often used to confirm the type and location of the fracture. Kyphoplasty begins with a tiny incision. A small balloon is guided into the collapsed vertebra and then gently inflated to restore height. Once the balloon is removed, bone cement is injected to keep the vertebra in place. This is called balloon kyphoplasty and is often used for newer fractures. Vertebroplasty also uses a small incision. Cement is injected directly into the fractured vertebra without balloon inflation. This procedure helps strengthen and stabilize the bone quickly. These forms of minimally invasive spine surgery are typically performed as outpatient treatments. These options are often recommended as part of back pain injection therapy plans.
What Are the Benefits of Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty?
Pain from a spinal fracture can affect your balance, movement, and daily routine. These procedures at DFW Sports Medicine help bring relief and stability without major surgery or long recovery times. The procedure's benefits include:
- Quick relief from back pain caused by fractures
- Improved spinal stability and posture
- Faster return to daily activities compared to traditional surgery
- Reduced risk of further spinal collapse
- Minimally invasive procedures with small incisions and low risk
- Outpatient treatment options with shorter recovery
- Helpful for people seeking the best treatment for spinal compression fractures
DFW Sports Medicine Reviews
Dr. Nuti is thorough, professional, and genuinely cares for her patients. The speed with which her office responds to emails and messages is amazing. I sought her help with a medical issue and was so impressed that I switched my care for a wholly unrelated issue from another doctor to her.
Dr Nuti is an exceptional doctor! She listens, patiently answers questions. She is excellent at diagnosing my running injuries and prescribing exercises and/or PT.
Love that I can get a Doctor to do my Botox. Got in super quick with no issues. Dr. Nuti listens to what I wanted done and what I want to accomplish. Going back to her for sure.
