Women suffering from mid-back pain due to a fall injury underwent a successful kyphoplasty on minimally invasive procedure used to treat vertebral compression fracture.
Condition
A 60-year-old woman experienced severe mid-back pain, especially when transitioning from sitting or lying down, caused by a non-healing fracture in her D12 vertebra. Despite trying non-surgical treatments for 3 months, her pain persisted due to the fracture non-union.
Surgery Day
To address her condition, a minimally invasive kyphoplasty procedure was performed. This treatment involved injecting bone cement into the fractured vertebra through a small 5mm incision. Additionally, minimally invasive fixation using tiny incisions and pedicle screws was employed to stabilize the fractured bone.
The results were remarkable. The patient felt completely pain-free within 12 hours of surgery and was able to go home the very next day. Advanced imaging and neuromonitoring techniques were used during the procedure to ensure the highest safety standards and a quick recovery.
