Outpatient Balloon Kyphoplasty Offers Low-Risk Treatment for Fractured Backs - South Kingston, RI
Medically fragile patients may benefit most from kyphoplasty. For older Americans, standing up can be a painful challenge after falling down, especially if they've suffered a fracture in their back. “Pain was terrible," said an 81-year old patient. "It (the pain) went from an 8 to a 9. It was very bad." He spent all day in his bed or a chair, hoping that time would heal whatever injury he had, but an X-ray later revealed two broken bones in his spine. He had a very typical, common fracture.
