Kyphoplasty in Los Angeles

Restore spinal stability, relieve fracture pain, and regain your quality of life with minimally invasive kyphoplasty in Los Angeles.

WHAT IS Kyphoplasty Surgery?

Kyphoplasty is a minimally invasive spinal procedure designed to treat painful vertebral compression fractures, most often caused by osteoporosis, trauma, or spinal tumors. By restoring vertebral height and stabilizing fractures with medical-grade bone cement, kyphoplasty relieves pain, improves mobility, and prevents further spinal deformity.

Dr. Parham Yashar, a board-certified neurosurgeon and one of the leading kyphoplasty specialists in Los Angeles, combines advanced imaging with precise surgical technique to deliver safe, effective, and lasting results.

What Conditions Are Treated with Kyphoplasty?

Kyphoplasty is most commonly used to treat:

  • Osteoporotic spinal compression fractures
  • Vertebral fractures caused by trauma
  • Spinal fractures related to tumors or bone weakness
  • Painful vertebral collapse causing spinal deformity or loss of height

Am I a good Candidate for Kyphoplasty?

You may be a candidate for kyphoplasty in L.A. if you have:

  • Persistent, severe back pain from a vertebral compression fracture
  • Fractures that are not responding to conservative treatments (bracing, rest, pain medication)
  • Loss of mobility, height, or worsening spinal curvature due to vertebral collapse
  • Imaging studies (X-ray, MRI, or CT) confirming a compression fracture

Dr. Yashar will carefully evaluate your spinal health, medical history, and goals to determine whether kyphoplasty is the right solution for you.

What to expect during Kyphoplasty Surgery

Kyphoplasty is performed using minimally invasive techniques to maximize safety and minimize recovery time. Here’s how the procedure works:
Anesthesia

Patients typically receive local anesthesia with sedation, though general anesthesia may be used depending on individual needs.

Small Incision & Balloon Placement

Through a small incision, a narrow tube is guided into the fractured vertebra using real-time fluoroscopy. A tiny balloon is then inserted and gently inflated to restore vertebral height and create space for stabilization.

Bone Cement Injection

Once the balloon is deflated and removed, medical-grade bone cement is injected into the cavity. This stabilizes the vertebra and prevents further collapse.

Closure and Recovery

The incision is closed with minimal scarring. Most patients experience significant pain relief within 24 to 48 hours and are able to return home the same day.
