Vertebral Compression Fracture
Treatment in Federal Way, Washington
Understanding
Kyphoplasty
The spine, our body’s central support structure, is susceptible to a variety of injuries. One often-overlooked injury is a compression fracture. As we age, our bones naturally lose density, or you may have osteoporosis, making them more fragile. This can lead to vertebral collapse, particularly in the spine, under the pressure of gravity or even minor trauma.

At Sound Vascular, we understand the impact that these fractures can have on your quality of life. That’s why we’re proud to offer advanced treatments such as Kyphoplasty to help alleviate pain, restore spinal stability, and improve your overall well-being.
Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat vertebral compression fractures by stabilizing the fractured bone and reducing pain. During the procedure, a small incision is made, and a specialized balloon is inserted into the fractured vertebra under fluoroscopic guidance. The balloon is then inflated to restore the height and shape of the vertebra, creating a cavity within the bone. This cavity is filled with bone cement to stabilize the fracture and provide support.

Benefits of
Kyphoplasty
Pain Relief
Kyphoplasty can provide significant pain relief for patients suffering from vertebral compression fractures, often resulting in improved mobility and quality of life.
Minimally Invasive
Kyphoplasty is performed through small incisions and requires only local anesthesia, resulting in minimal disruption to surrounding tissues and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Restored Spinal Alignment
By restoring the height and shape of the fractured vertebra, Kyphoplasty can help restore spinal alignment and prevent further deformity.
Reduced Risk of Complications
The minimally invasive nature of Kyphoplasty reduces the risk of complications such as infection and blood loss, making it a safer option for many patients.
