Vertebroplasty / Kyphoplasty (Cement Injection for Vertebrae) is considered a modern, effective, and safe procedure for treating vertebral fractures, often caused by osteoporosis, injuries, or tumors that lead to vertebral collapse and fractures. These fractures can cause severe pain that interferes with daily activities and negatively impacts the patient’s quality of life.
At Dr. Ahmed El-Ghoul’s clinic, we offer vertebral cement injection as a safe and effective solution for selected cases of thoracic and lumbar vertebral fractures. This procedure is one of the minimally invasive techniques in spine surgery.
How the procedure works:
A fine needle is inserted into the affected vertebra under X-ray guidance, and a special medical cement is injected into the vertebra to:
Stabilize the vertebra and prevent further collapse
Rapidly and noticeably reduce pain
Restore the patient’s ability to move and perform daily activities
Conditions suitable for this procedure:
Vertebral fractures due to severe osteoporosis (especially in women and elderly patients)
Vertebral fractures caused by tumor spread in the vertebral bones
Vertebral fractures due to certain medical conditions affecting the vertebrae, such as vertebral hemangiomas
Some vertebral fractures caused by injuries or road accidents
Advantages of vertebral cement injection:
Simple procedure performed under local or general anesthesia
No large surgical incision required
Hospital stay of one to two days at most
Allows rapid return to normal daily life
