Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat spinal compression fractures, most commonly caused by osteoporosis. In this technique, a special medical-grade bone cement is injected into the fractured vertebra to stabilize the spine and relieve severe back pain.
Unlike traditional surgery, vertebroplasty is performed through a small skin puncture under local anesthesia, and typically does not require stitches or prolonged hospital stays. It offers rapid pain relief and restores mobility in patients who otherwise struggle with movement due to fragile spine fractures.
Vertebroplasty is especially beneficial for senior citizens with osteoporosis-related spinal fractures, allowing faster recovery and improved quality of life without the need for open surgery.
