Expert Kyphoplasty in Boynton Beach – Minimally Invasive Care

Our board-certified specialists use advanced kyphoplasty techniques to treat spinal compression fractures with minimal downtime. 

What is Kyphoplasty?

Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat painful vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) caused by osteoporosis, trauma, or cancer-related bone loss. This procedure stabilizes the fractured vertebra, restores height, and significantly reduces pain by injecting bone cement into the affected area. It is an excellent alternative to prolonged bed rest, bracing and pain medications, offering rapid pain relief and improved spinal stability.

Benefits of Kyphoplasty

  • Pain Relief – Provides immediate and lasting relief from vertebral compression fractures.
  • Restored Spinal Alignment – Helps regain lost vertebral height and posture.
  • Minimally Invasive – Small incision, reduced scarring, and quicker recovery.
  • Improved Mobility – Patients often return to normal activities within days.

Who is a Candidate?

Kyphoplasty may be ideal for patients who:

  • Have osteoporotic fractures that cause severe back pain and limited movement.
  • Experience spinal compression fractures from cancer or trauma.
  • Have failed to find relief with conservative treatments like bracing or pain medications.

How the Procedure Works

During kyphoplasty, a small balloon is inserted into the fractured vertebra and gently inflated to create space. Once the correct height is restored, a specialized bone cement is injected to stabilize the vertebra and prevent further collapse. The entire procedure takes about 10-15 minutes per treated vertebra and is performed “in office” or in an ambulatory surgical center.

Recovery Expectations

Most patients experience significant pain relief within 24-48 hours and can return to daily activities within a few days. Strenuous activities should be avoided for at least two weeks, but most individuals resume their normal routine quickly.
