If you’re in the Greater Phoenix area, including Chandler, Gilbert, Ahwatukee, Tempe, Mesa, Maricopa, or Casa Grande, and are looking for a solution to vertebral compression fractures, Red Butte Pain Solutions offers a cutting-edge procedure called kyphoplasty. This minimally invasive treatment is designed to alleviate pain and restore mobility by repairing fractures often caused by osteoporosis or cancer.
Kyphoplasty involves the careful insertion of a balloon into the affected vertebra, which is then inflated to create space. This space is filled with a special cement, stabilizing the fracture and aiming to return the spine to its original shape. For those who have undergone radiation therapy for spinal tumors, kyphoplasty can be particularly beneficial, as it addresses the weakened bones that are more prone to fractures.
For comprehensive information on kyphoplasty, including its benefits and the procedure itself, consider exploring these educational resources:
For patients who have received radiation therapy for spinal tumors, kyphoplasty can be a valuable option. Radiation therapy can weaken the bone, making it more susceptible to fractures. Kyphoplasty can help address these fractures and provide relief.
While exact rates may vary, studies have shown that vertebral compression fractures can occur in a significant percentage of patients who have undergone radiation therapy for spinal tumors. These fractures can lead to pain, decreased mobility, and other complications.
In cases where additional radiation therapy to the spine is not feasible, kyphoplasty can be combined with tumor ablation. Tumor ablation techniques, such as Osteocool, can target and destroy tumor tissue without the need for additional radiation. By combining kyphoplasty with tumor ablation, patients can achieve pain relief and stabilization while avoiding further radiation exposure.
