30-60 minutes per vertebra. 90%+ pain relief in days. Medicare-covered for qualifying cases.
Who Isn’t a Good Candidate for Kyphoplasty
Kyphoplasty works best for recent compression fractures. Patients with fractures older than 3 months, severe burst fractures with spinal cord compression, spinal infections, or uncorrected bleeding disorders typically need different treatments like bracing, open surgery, or medical management.
