Spinal Fracture Treatment at USA Vascular Centers
If you suffer from back pain you know how excruciating it can be. If your pain is caused by a spinal fracture or osteoporosis that has caused the vertebrae to collapse, you know the agony of chronic pain. We can help to relieve that pain in a minimally invasive procedure that our surgeons are specially trained to conduct.
Spinal Pain Relief and an Incision Smaller than a Band-Aid
Our spine health specialists treat spinal fractures with a surgical procedure known as Kyphoplasty. This procedure uses a narrow tube, inserted through a very tiny incision in the back, to access the fracture
During the Kyphoplasty procedure our surgeon guides the tube, using x-ray images, to the fractured area of the spine. A special balloon is inserted through the tube and into the fractured vertebrae. The surgeon then very gently inflates the balloon and as it inflates it expands the bone that has collapsed. The balloon is removed, and the space that it created is filled with a bone cement mixture that hardens and stabilizes the bone. This procedure may correct a deformity or restore body height that was shortened by the compression fracture.
A Fast Recovery – Home the Same Day.
Kyphoplasty is done under either local or general anesthesia. You will be very comfortable and may be given some medication to help you relax. You will spend time in the recovery room once the procedure is complete.
Fast Pain Relief
Some patients experience relief from their back pain immediately; for others the pain is reduced or eliminated altogether within 2 days. There may be soreness at the point of the incision but this is usually treated with an icepack, and goes away within a couple of days.
