Kyphoplasty in Enid

Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat painful vertebral compression fractures — small breaks in the spine often caused by osteoporosis, injury, or other conditions.

It works by stabilizing the fractured bone and helping restore its natural height, which can relieve pain and support better mobility. Many patients feel meaningful relief soon after the procedure.

Watch: How Kyphoplasty works

Repairing a Compression Fracture

When a vertebra collapses from a compression fracture, it can cause severe back pain, reduced mobility, and a forward-curved posture (kyphosis). Kyphoplasty gently restores the height of the fractured bone and stabilizes it — helping ease pain and prevent further collapse.

What Kyphoplasty Can Treat

Kyphoplasty is most often used for painful vertebral compression fractures. These fractures can come from several causes.

Vertebral Compression Fractures

Small fractures where a spinal bone collapses, often causing sudden or ongoing back pain.

Osteoporosis-Related Fractures

Weakened bones from osteoporosis can fracture from even a minor movement or fall.

Fractures From Trauma

Compression fractures caused by a fall, accident, or other injury to the spine.

Stooped or Curved Posture

Fractures that lead to a forward-curved spine, sometimes called kyphosis.

Severe Fracture-Related Back Pain

Sharp, ongoing back pain from a compression fracture that limits daily movement.

Reduced Mobility

When fracture pain makes it hard to stand, walk, or stay active as you normally would.

The Procedure

What to Expect

Kyphoplasty is performed under local or general anesthesia and usually takes about an hour per vertebra. Here is how the procedure typically works.

1

Guided Placement

Using X-ray (fluoroscopic) guidance, a small needle is placed into the fractured vertebra through a tiny incision in the back.

2

Restoring Height

A small balloon is inserted through the needle and carefully inflated to gently restore the collapsed vertebra toward its natural height.

3

Stabilizing the Bone

The balloon is removed and the space is filled with bone cement, which hardens quickly to stabilize the vertebra.

4

Relief & Recovery

Many patients experience relief and improved mobility soon after, sometimes within hours of the procedure.

Afterward

Recovery & Post-Treatment Care

Because kyphoplasty is minimally invasive, most patients recover quickly. After the procedure you are observed for a short time and usually go home the same day.

✓ Observed briefly, then typically discharged the same day
✓ Most return to normal activities within a few days
✓ Strenuous activity is usually avoided for a few weeks
✓ Light physical therapy may be recommended
✓ Follow-up care to support your recovery

Benefits of Kyphoplasty

Meaningful Pain Relief

Many patients experience significant reduction in back pain after the procedure.

Minimally Invasive

Small incisions mean less discomfort and a shorter recovery than open surgery.

Restores Spinal Alignment

Correcting vertebral height can help prevent further deformity and improve posture.

Quick Recovery

Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days.
