Kyphoplasty

The sudden and severe back pain that relieves on lying down but worsens on standing or walking, along with deformity of the spine may be caused by a fracture in the spinal column. These fractures are called vertebral compression fractures (VCF) can be attributed to osteoporosis. Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty are minimally invasive procedures for the treatment of VCF. Kyphoplasty and Vertebroplasty are suggested when less invasive measures like bed rest, pain medication, or back brace prove ineffective at providing pain relief.
