Watch Video: KYPHON® Balloon Kyphoplasty
Medtronic, Inc.
Watch Video: KYPHON® Balloon Kyphoplasty from Medtronic, Inc. Dec 14 2011 - Balloon kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure designed to repair vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) by reducing and stabilizing the fractures. It has been clinically shown to reduce the fracture, relieve back pain, and improve quality of life.

Unlike other treatments, balloon kyphoplasty utilizes orthopedic balloons to restore vertebral body height and correct angular deformity. Through a bilateral approach, balloons are guided through working cannulae into the vertebra and carefully inflated to reduce the fracture. (Only one balloon is visible in the picture below.)

After reduction, the balloons are deflated and removed. The resulting cavity (void) allows for a controlled deposition of KYPHON® bone cement forming an internal cast and stabilizing the fracture.
