In this video, Dr. Webb talks about a kyphoplasty procedure for patients with osteporotic vertebral compression fractures.
About us:
Our Fracture Prevention Clinic at South Texas Spinal Clinic provides compassionate and timely treatment for patients with osteoporosis.
We are a team of 2 spine surgeons (Dr. Walt Simmons and Dr. Antonio Webb) and a Fracture Liaison Certified Specialist (Annette Gantz, NP-C) who loves helping patients understand their bone health by taking time to explain specific bone diseases and risks.
The Fracture Prevention Clinic also educates patients on how to prevent bone problems before a fracture occurs in addition to managing medications that may be needed to maintain bone health after a fracture.
Most patients are treated without surgery. Those patients who need surgery may be offered an outpatient procedure, called a kyphoplasty.

What is a kyphoplasty?
Kyphoplasty is a 30-minute minimally invasive outpatient surgery used to treat spinal compression fractures. Compression fractures usually occur in the chest region of the spine or in the low back, in areas weakened by osteoporosis. To help reduce pain from these fractures, a small needle followed by a ballon are inserted into the fractured bone. This is followed by cement. The goals of the procedure are to reduce pain from the fracture, restore the natural height of the vertebrae, and ensure stability.
Who is the perfect patient for a kyphoplasty?
Patients with confirmed osteoporosis who have a recent osteoporotic fracture are ideal candidates, because the more recent the fracture has occurred, the more likely it is able to have its height restored.
Patients with pain from an osteoporotic fracture: if you are known to have an osteoporotic fracture and have pain at that level, restoring height and fixing the broken vertebral body may relieve the pain.
