Our board-certified specialists use advanced kyphoplasty techniques to treat spinal compression fractures with minimal downtime.
Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive surgery that uses a small balloon during the procedure and is designed to treat painful vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) caused by osteoporosis, trauma, or cancer-related bone loss. A balloon kyphoplasty in Boynton Beach 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.
Kyphoplasty may be ideal for patients who:
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. A kyphoplasty in Boynton Beach takes about 10-15 minutes per treated vertebra and is performed “in office” or in an ambulatory surgical center.
“Kyphoplasty is a breakthrough treatment for vertebral compression fractures, delivering rapid pain relief and restoring mobility—often in just one procedure. With an impressive safely profile and minimal downtime, patients can get back to living pain-free faster than ever.” – Dr. Jason Billinghurst
