Your Kyphoplasty Treatment journey begins with a comprehensive neurosurgical consultation during which Dr. Amjad Alsaeed will thoroughly review your symptoms, medical history, and imaging results including MRI, CT scans, and X-rays to confirm the diagnosis of vertebral compression fracture and determine whether Kyphoplasty is the most appropriate treatment for your specific condition. A complete assessment of your bone health and overall medical status is also performed to ensure you are fully prepared for the procedure.

The Kyphoplasty procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia through two very small incisions in the back. A thin tube is carefully guided to the fractured vertebra under real-time X-ray imaging guidance. A small balloon is then inserted and gently inflated to restore the height of the collapsed vertebra and create a cavity. The balloon is removed and the cavity is carefully filled with a special bone cement that hardens rapidly, stabilizing the fracture and maintaining the restored vertebral height.

Following the procedure, patients typically experience significant and often immediate pain relief and are able to mobilize and resume light daily activities within a very short period. Post-operative care includes pain management, activity guidance, and follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery and bone health. Our team also addresses the underlying cause of the fracture, providing guidance on osteoporosis management and fracture prevention to protect your long-term spinal health at Dr. Baraa Al Hafez Medical Center in Sharjah, UAE.
