Vertebroplasty
Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive spinal procedure used to stabilize weakened or fractured vertebrae and help relieve pain. It is commonly considered for painful vertebral compression fractures, including those associated with osteoporosis or certain spinal conditions. Dr. Utkarsh Agrawal, Consultant Orthopedic and Spine Surgeon, evaluates the patient’s symptoms, medical history, and imaging results to determine whether vertebroplasty is appropriate. During the procedure, a medical-grade bone cement is carefully injected into the affected vertebra to improve stability. Vertebroplasty may help reduce pain and improve mobility in appropriately selected patients. Following the procedure, medical guidance and follow-up are important to monitor recovery and support a gradual return to daily activities.
