Percutaneous kyphoplasty
Record ID 32012000570
English
Authors' recommendations:
Percutaneous kyphoplasty (KP) is a therapeutic, interventional radiological procedure for patients with painful vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) due to primary or secondary osteoporosis or myeloma. It involves expansion of the partially collapsed vertebral body with an inflatable bone tamp, followed by injection of an acrylic polymer, which then hardens to maintain reduction of the fracture. Kyphoplasty is intended to relieve pain, restore vertebral body height, and provide stability.
