Kyphosis is a medical condition that causes forward bending in the patient’s spine, giving the person a stooped or rounded back. Reasons like developmental problems, degenerative diseases, fractures, tumors, or lousy posture, may contribute to this condition.
This chronic condition is characterized by constant pain in the patient’s back, neck, and shoulders. It limits a person’s range of motion and restricts daily activities such as reaching overhead or twisting the back.In some instances, Kyphosis compresses the chest cavity, making breathing difficult and leading to shortness of breath.
Kyphosis, if noticeable, can also affect a person’s self-esteem and body image.
It is most commonly seen in women after menopause but can also affect men.

Kyphoplasty surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat vertebral compression fractures, often caused by Osteoporosis or Silent thief. This chronic condition is characterized by a loss of bone density and structural changes in bone tissues. Consequently, making bones fragile and prone to fractures, particularly in the spine, hip, and wrist areas. The condition can develop over many years without any noticeable symptoms.
The procedure is typically performed under local or general anesthesia and takes around 60-90 minutes for one level. The surgeon will ask you to lie down on your stomach during the process. Once the patient is under anesthesia, the kyphoplasty surgeon in India makes a small incision at the place of the fracture in the back. Next, he inserts a hollow needle trocar into the vertebra.
The surgeon uses Fluoroscopy as a guide to ensure that the needle is inserted at the right place. Once everything is intact, it’s time to insert a balloon-like device into the vertebra through the trocar. This balloon inflates once it reaches its position. It helps restore the height and shape of the vertebral body by opening the space between the bones. Next, cement-like material is injected into the vertebral body to stabilize and prevent further fractures. Afterward, the surgeon closes the incision and applies a bandage to prevent infection.
The cost of Kyphoplasty surgery in India ranges between USD 5000 – 6000 per level of vertebrae. The price of treatment in India through Cross Border Care can be 10–20% lower. We assure you of the best and most reasonable treatment.
