Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty Market Overview and Introduction

Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are image-guided surgical procedures used for the treatment of painful vertebral compression fractures in the spinal column. These fractures are a common result of osteoporosis. In vertebroplasty, cement is filled into the fractured bone and in kyphoplasty, a balloon is inserted into the fractured bone to create space, which is then filled with cement. Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty procedures can help in increasing patients’ functional abilities, as only a small incision is created on the skin, there is no need for stitches on the skin and they are safe and effective procedures in most cases.

The vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty market is driven by factors such as rise in the prevalence of patients suffering from osteoporosis, increasing traumatic accidents that lead to vertebral trauma. Moreover, short surgical times, speedy recovery, increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries and the surgery being safer and more effective in most cases, are some of the factors expected to further boost the market growth. However, the chances of infection post-surgery may restrain market growth to a certain extent.
