Kyphoplasty is a newer percutaneous procedure that addresses the kyphotic deformity as well as the fracture pain (versus vertebroplasty which does not address the kyphotic deformity). Kyphoplasty involves the percutaneous insertion of an inflatable bone tamp into the fractured vertebral body under fluoroscopic guidance. The bone tamp is then inflated, elevating the endplates and restoring the vertebral body toward its original height. Thick PMMA is then injected in a controlled manner under low pressure into the cavity of the body. The bone tamp is deflated and removed. Kyphoplasty has been shown to provide significant pain relief as well as substantial improvement in the height of the collapsed vertebral body and has been found to reduce the spinal kyphosis.
