Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to treat vertebral compression fractures (VCFs), which often occur due to osteoporosis, trauma, or tumors

Types of Vertebroplasty Procedures

Balloon Kyphoplasty:
Though technically distinct from vertebroplasty, balloon kyphoplasty is related and involves inserting and inflating a balloon in the fractured vertebra to create a cavity before injecting bone cement. This method aims to restore vertebral height and alignment more effectively than traditional vertebroplasty.

Radiofrequency Kyphoplasty:
This technique employs radiofrequency energy to create a cavity within the vertebral body before injecting bone cement. It may provide advantages such as reducing the risk of cement leakage and enhancing procedural efficiency.
