Spinal compression fractures can be treated with minimally invasive treatments called vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty. These excruciating, wedge-shaped fractures can result from trauma or osteoporosis. If left untreated, they may result in kyphosis, or a humped spine. Patients can heal more quickly and lower their chance of further fractures by using a balloon to raise their vertebral bodies and injecting cement into the broken bone. Stabilizing the spinal compression fracture is the aim of a vertebroplasty treatment in order to stop its excruciating motions. Because vertebroplasty is performed by a small skin puncture rather than an open incision, it is regarded as a minimally invasive surgical procedure. The following describes a typical technique for vertebroplasty, which typically takes around one hour to perform. Less than six hours prior to the vertebroplasty operation, it is typical to be prohibited from consuming any food or beverages. For instance, if the surgery is planned for the morning, the doctor may mandate that no food or liquids be taken after midnight the night before. Usually, you can have a modest amount of water up to two hours prior to the procedure.
