Kyphoplasty

Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat vertebral compression fractures and restore spinal alignment.

[icon-pros]Pros: It can significantly reduce pain in up to 90% of patients and helps restore vertebral height. The procedure is quick, often completed in less than 1 hour.
[icon-cons]Cons: There is a risk of cement leakage, which occurs in about 5-10% of cases. Some patients may experience transient increase in back pain post-procedure.
[icon-effect]Effectiveness: Success rate of pain relief is approximately 90%.
[icon-clock]Duration: 1 hour
[icon-run]Recovery: Initial recovery takes a few days, with full recovery in 2-6 weeks.
[icon-thumbs]Best for: Patients with osteoporotic fractures or vertebral compression fractures. Effective for restoring spinal height and reducing pain.
[icon-price]Prices: [txt-country]
