Kyphoplasty in New Jersey

Balloon kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive approach to treating vertebral compression fractures. These fractures may be caused by osteoporosis, certain cancers, or prolonged corticosteroid use—each of which can weaken the vertebrae and lead to cracks or collapses. Such issues often result in pain, posture changes, and potential spinal misalignment.

We invite you to contact our Englewood team to learn more about kyphoplasty in NJ and to explore whether this procedure aligns with your needs.

How Balloon Kyphoplasty Works

Balloon kyphoplasty aims to gently restore the vertebra to a more normal shape while alleviating discomfort. Before the procedure, imaging studies help confirm the fracture location.

  • Small Incisions: Two minor incisions are made on either side of the affected vertebra. A hollow tube is then guided into the fracture under real-time X-ray.
  • Balloon Insertion: Tiny orthopedic balloons are inflated within the collapsed vertebra to lift and realign its structure.
  • Cement Injection: Once the desired vertebral height is reestablished, the balloons are removed. The resulting cavity is then filled with specialized bone cement, which hardens quickly to stabilize the fracture.

Because the bone is immediately reinforced, many individuals report significant pain relief soon afterward.

Procedure and Recovery

Depending on a patient's health profile, kyphoplasty in New Jersey can be completed as an outpatient procedure or may require a short hospital stay. Treatment usually lasts about one hour per fracture level, and patients often resume normal activities relatively quickly. Those with multiple fractures, or compromised bone mass from conditions like osteoporosis, can experience notable improvements in comfort and mobility following this intervention.
