Kyphoplasty
Kyphoplasty is a technique related to Vertebroplasty. The procedure differs in that a specialized balloon is placed into the fractured bone prior to cement injection to better expand a compressed bone and create space into which to deposit the cement.
Kyphoplasty is also used to treat painful compression fractures of the spine. Potential candidates are evaluated prior to any procedure by our interventional radiologists. To find out more information and to see if you are a candidate for Kyphoplasty please call the Interventional Radiology Department at Northwest Community Hospital at (847) 618-5890.
