What is the recovery time for a balloon kyphoplasty?
Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive surgery primarily used for treating compression fractures. During the operation, doctors will insert a special balloon catheter, known as the Kyphoplasty Balloon Catheter, into the compressed vertebra through a tiny puncture needle. Then, the balloon is inflated to restore the height of the vertebra and relieve pain.
The Role of Kyphoplasty Balloon Catheter
The Kyphoplasty Balloon Catheter plays a crucial role in vertebroplasty. It can not only accurately locate the fractured vertebra but also expand the vertebra after inflation, creating space for the injection of bone cement. Meanwhile, the inflation of the balloon can also play a hemostatic role.
Recovery Time after Vertebroplasty
According to numerous studies and clinical practices, the pain after balloon vertebroplasty usually subsides immediately after the operation. Most patients can be discharged on the same day or the next day after the operation. After the operation, patients may feel slight pain at the needle insertion site, but this usually disappears within one or two days. Most patients can resume their daily activities quickly after the operation.
Factors Affecting the Recovery Time after Vertebroplasty
Patient's Age: Older patients may take a longer time to recover.
Physical Condition: Patients with poor basic physical conditions may have a longer recovery time.
Severity of the Fracture: The more severe the fracture is, the longer the recovery time will be.
Postoperative Care: Whether the postoperative care is proper also affects the recovery speed.
