Vertebroplasty Surgery in Indore

Vertebroplasty, performed by the experienced hands of Dr. Ameya Rangnekar, is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). This innovative intervention involves the injection of bone cement into the fractured vertebra, stabilizing it and alleviating pain. Dr. Rangnekar’s expertise in Vertebroplasty ensures patients receive personalized care and effective relief from spinal fractures, enabling them to regain mobility and quality of life.

Benefits of Vertebroplasty:

• Pain Relief: Vertebroplasty offers prompt and significant pain relief by stabilizing fractured vertebrae and reducing pressure on surrounding nerves.
• Improved Spinal Stability: By reinforcing fractured vertebrae with bone cement, Vertebroplasty restores spinal stability, preventing further collapse and deformity.
• Enhanced Mobility: Alleviating pain and stabilizing the spine enables patients to regain mobility and resume daily activities with greater ease and comfort.
• Quick Recovery: As a minimally invasive procedure, Vertebroplasty typically involves minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to normal activities sooner than traditional surgical interventions.
• Prevention of Complications: Prompt treatment of VCFs with Vertebroplasty reduces the risk of complications such as chronic pain, spinal deformity, and loss of function, promoting better long-term outcomes.

Symptoms Addressed by Vertebroplasty:

• Acute Back Pain: Intense, localized pain in the back, often exacerbated by movement or pressure on the spine.
• Limited Mobility: Difficulty standing, walking, or performing daily activities due to pain and instability caused by vertebral fractures.
• Height Loss: Compression fractures can lead to a reduction in height and changes in posture, impacting overall physical appearance and function.
• Nerve Compression Symptoms: Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the limbs resulting from pressure on spinal nerves due to vertebral collapse.
• Decreased Quality of Life: Chronic pain and limited mobility associated with VCFs can significantly diminish quality of life, affecting mood, sleep, and overall well-being.

Procedure:

• Preoperative Evaluation: Dr. Rangnekar conducts a comprehensive assessment, including imaging studies, to determine the extent and location of vertebral fractures and plan the most appropriate treatment approach.
• Vertebroplasty Technique: Using image guidance, bone cement is injected directly into the fractured vertebra, stabilizing it and restoring spinal alignment. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort and safety.
• Recovery Process: Following Vertebroplasty, patients typically experience immediate pain relief and can resume light activities within a day or two. Full recovery may take several weeks, during which patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and follow postoperative instructions for optimal healing.

Conditions Treated with Vertebroplasty:

Vertebral Compression Fractures (VCFs) due to osteoporosis, trauma, or other underlying spinal conditions.
