KYPHON® Balloon Kyphoplasty: Step-by-Step

Radiologic Assesment

First week post fracture Eight weeks post fracture MRI: T2 Image


Location of Incisions

Your physician will make small incisions over the fracture site(s) on your back.

Fractured vertebral body(side view)


Placement of Balloons

Balloon catheters are inserted into the incisions and into the body of the affected vertebra.


Balloons are Inflated

The balloons are inflated with a liquid visible under X-ray guidance inside the collapsed vertebra.This creates a cavity and helps restore the vertebra body height.


Removal of Balloons and Filling of Cement

The physician then deflates and removes the balloons leaving an open cavity.Bone cement is then inserted through the catheters into the open cavity.


Internal Cast to Support and Stabilize

Once the cement is carefully in place the catheters are removedand the cement hardens in minutes creating an “internal cast”.
